I prefer 'subscribe' because it better describes the meaning and
intention behind the link, but I can live with 'current' if that is the
consensus.  I am also worried that this is being pushed through too
quickly.

OpenSearch uses 'next' to go from page=1 to page=2.  The natural paging
setup for an inremental feed that is also an OpenSearch results feed is
to have rel=current (aka rel=subscribe) point to the first page of
results (i.e. page=1).

Is it the intention that history reconstruction uses 'next' links to go
back into the past?

If so I think that must be made much more explicit in the descriptions,
since it is not the natural interpretation if you come at this purely
from the standpoint of blog history.

On the other hand, if that is *not* the intention then paging for
history and paging for OpenSearch will be incompatible.
