Seems like we don't have the same definition of lossless then...
Partial lists in AtomPub are subject to the following constraint:
The first such partial list returned MUST contain the most recently
edited member Resources and MUST have an atom:link with a "next"
relation whose "href" value is the URI of the next partial list of the
Collection. This next partial list will contain the next most recently
edited set of Member Resources (and an atom:link to the following
partial list if it exists).
So by definition, they are lossy, by the following definition of lossy:
> §3 of Feed history I-D expects paged feeds to be lossy

Conclusion: I don't see any conflict their.
