If it implements the mechanism described in <xref history>, this means that it will have to reject any article where its date falls outside a cutoff interval,

If shorter text is desired, drop the part after the comma.


I really like that this expresses the idea that if you can't know if you accepted it or not, you must reject.

I would wordsmith:

	successfully sent to it -> accepted.

(There have been some propagation algorithms which trust articles from certain peers, but not others.)

And I don't have a strong opinion, but should this part also change:
	will have to reject -> MUST reject.
