My APP server isn't used in the context of a standard feed provider. It will be more of a web interface to a backend data server. We are leveraging Atom/APP/REST as a generic data provider interface for our web services.
That's why your suggestion, although pretty good for feeds, is not applicable here. I really want to chunk large datasets/search results. I am also willing to live with some infrequent inconsistencies while scanning the pages following concurrent create/delete ops. My question was really about naming conventions when providing the page size and page index as URL parameters.

The easiest approach has always been to use page and pagesize. Doing so, however, has it's disadvantages. For one, the pages are unstable -- that is, as new entries are added to the collection, the entries slide through the pages making it difficult for a client to completely and consistently sync up the changes. An alternative approach would be to based paging on date ranges, each each page could represent all entries modified within a given period of time. Such pages will generally be much less volatile over time. - James Remy Gendron wrote: > Hello all, > > > > Im implementing paging in my Abdera server.
