Makes perfect sense to me. You don't want to stage immediately because
you want to keep it on disk for as long as possible, but you do want to
get the data off to tape as soon as possible. You then clear space using
nsrmm -d but only when that space is needed.

I wrote a suite of scripts to automate this a few years ago. They're
probably still floating around on the net somewhere.
