	I must be missing something, since only the fetch commands to
the backends have an article number provided by gnus.  Routines like
BACKEND-request-accept-article are given a group and the body of the
article and come up with their own number for it.

	Or are you referring to the backend renumbering old articles
when Gnus isn't looking?  That's a definite problem, certainly.
