Not. :-) You only know the number, not which ones, so you can't really
say what happened.
If you had high 50, unseen 25, and it increase to high 55, unseen 23,
how do you know whether that's 5 new articles, and two old that were
read, or 1 new article, and three that were read?
Just work through the scenarios, and keep in mind that the UIDNEXT isn't
necessarily consecutive.
