Understood. I've been reluctant to change the spec for just that reason, but the split has become pretty apparent.
Our of curiosity, do you know of *any* client applications that actually support feed paging? Or have expressed an intention to support feed paging? By client application I mean something a user can download and install on their system and use as a feed reader. Last time I checked I couldn't find any on Windows. Is there better support on Linux and Macs?
I think most of the use cases for paging have to do with things like GData, OpenSearch, etc -- i.e., query results. That sort of thing isn't targetted at desktop aggregators AFAICT; it seems to be more for machine->machine communication, or for browsing a result set.
