Doesn't the agent already have a feature where it does things with
articles that aren't on the server anymore?  Maybe it deletes NOV
lines for those articles?  It could also remove the downloadable mark
for them.

While it is possible to download read articles, and users *might* wish
to do that, we can be pretty sure that articles that aren't on the
server any more are really not downloadable anymore ;-)
