The reasoning behind this is to ease mirror updates,
which then won't
have to wait for the next dump. Goes like this:
* Check your mirror database for the latest date any article has
* Get a list of all articles that have changed since that moment
* Get all these articles via the "normal" Special:Export function
* Update your database with these
See extensions/OAI for the mass update server/client we've been setting
up experimentally.
