Excellent.  If this works out, there is an opportunity to merge the
paging behavior of Feed History, OpenSearch and APP collections into a
single set of paging link relations (next/previous/first/last).


'first' or 'start'?

Do we need to define what 'first' means though?  I recall a dissenting
opinion on the wiki that the 'first' entry could be at either end of the
list, which could surprise some.

Yeah, that's a good question. Maybe calling them "top" and "bottom" would work better. Considering that the convention is to put the newest entry at the top of a feed document, "top" might be more intuitively understandable as being the new end. You might also rename "next" and "previous" (or is it "previous" and "next"?) to "down" and "up". There's SOME chance of that getting confused with hierarchical levels, but I could live with that.
