I see a specific definition in a generic relation, but I don't understand what the specific definition is good for and I want the definition to be more general. rel: next definition: A URI that points to the next feed in a series of feeds. For example, in a reverse-choronological series of feeds, the 'next' URI would point deeper into the past. > > 3.)

I understand that. I don't understand how that enables a new feature or easier interoperation. In otherwords, the rationale for the definition seems circular to me. Robert Sayre
