However, I've often seen (and it exists in our Nature license) a
secondary option if the library doesn't want to pay the access fee of
getting the content in some other physical medium (also for a charge
with Nature although other licenses we have don't make that
specification). I.e. the library could elect to have the publisher
burn them a physical copy and send the files for them to make
available locally.

I don't think this is uncommon, as I was just reviewing a proposed ACS
license that contains the following post-cancellation language:

"Such digital access rights shall be contingent upon payment of an
annual post-cancellation platform maintenance fee."

Cancellation/access/maintenance fees are similar as far as I can tell
and such fees are almost never specified beforehand.  It seems that
publishers can then charge virtually anything if they couch
post-cancellation in such vague terms.  If the library is not willing
to pay, then access will be cut off going forward to that journal or
set of publications.

Definitely something to keep an eye on as it's likely an element often
overlooked in licenses.
