+1 on all of Roberts comments. While I'm ok with the current

A stable URI that, when dereferenced, returns a feed document
containing a set of entries that sequentially precede those in the
current document.
I already have code that uses "next" for this. Why do we want to
change it?
This can be thought of as specific to those
entries; in other words, it represents a fixed section of the feed,
rather than a sliding window over it. Note that the exact nature of
the ordering between the entries and documents containing them is
not defined by this relation; i.e., this relation is only relative.
1.) I don't understand why one feed is making assertions about the
stability of another, when your draft provides explicit signals for
this.
2.) I still don't see how this helps me write a client.
3.) I don't think the notion of "fixed section" is helpful.
<fh:archive> is good, that means "don't subscribe"... I get that.
