That's perfectly fine for me.  Another solution might be to compare the
date headers of the entries: get all entries of the feed which are not
present in the group, but also check their date header if they are
actually newer than the ones which are already there. If an entry is
older, we can assume it was already expired?

Even simpler, we might only get those articles which are not older than
the expiry-time for the group, but I don't know anything about expiry
times in Mew and Wanderlust.
