I'd like to see some record flags in history and overview data that imply
the record is deleted and should not be used.

It would be nice during the day to have cancels flip such a "deleted" bit in
the overview record.  The article would then be unavailable to the NNRPD's.
Later expires could truely get rid of the records.
