Ch 3. fh:stateful seems to be only needed for a newborn stateful

of fh:stateful and fh:prev.
+1. After going through this, fh:stateful really doesn't seem to be
necessary. the presence of fh:prev would be sufficient to indicate
that the feed has a history and a blank fh:prev would work fine to
indicate the end of the history.
I thought about the comments on the plane yesterday, and I agree.
However, I'm wary of special URI values; also, I want to preserve
stateful=false.
So, what about saying that you can omit fh:stateful *if* fh:prev is
in the feed?
