HTML defines rel='next' [1] in terms of the relationship between the HTML documents. There's a semantic concern here of the relationship between the microformat data embedded in the page and the HTML document. There may be more than one embedded collection of microformats in a single HTML document (indeed, this is a good thing :-). I suspect a generic recommendation here is unwise, as the implication (paged streams of microformats should be presented as HTML pages linked together using rel='next') is not reflexive (it is certainly not true that all HTML pages with rel='next' and containing microformats that /may/ be presented as paged streams actually embody a paged stream of microformats; consider for instance a paged preview of a year using hCalendar to point out conferences; those hCalendar instances might be in a sidebar and present on every page of the preview). The XFN pattern isn't so simplistic, of course: rel='me next' is different to rel='next'. (Although I'd consider this a slightly questionable reading of the definition of @rel, since the semantic relationship between multiple link-types on the same anchor or link is, I believe, not specified in HTML.) In the case of hAtom, rel='feed next' would achieve a similar distinction. A general recommendation could presumably be made that this approach is the correct one, if it is agreed that this approach is the correct one.
