Having implemented openSearch [1] in my product feeds [2], I'd probably implement this, because it makes sense and would be very easy to do. My feeds are actually ordered (and paged) already, either by onsale date or by top seller, even though there's no way to indicate this in the XML. [Actually, it *should* already be in openSearch since that implicitly expects the feed entries to be ordered corresponding to the feed-level <openSearch:totalResults> and <openSearch:startIndex> elements.] Just my 2c.
