Still another issue with dates is that the article date isn't necessarily tied to the date you parsed the feed. Articles with older dates are sometimes added to feeds.

Yup. It will also be a problem with different time zones even if the article dates are correct.

It would be nice if this would be supported by calibre itself and just click a button in the GUI. I kind of solved this problem by creating a popup window in my recipe which prompts the user to input how many feeds should be included. In my specific case (for legal decisions), the articles are grouped in dated feeds and so I have to select the number of feeds.
