We have a client that is specific to our Open Activities platform that uses feed paging. It's not a general feed reader, tho. I believe our general feed reader component will support paging (maybe does, haven't checked on it in a while). - James James Holderness wrote: I'm going to reserve

This relates to work that we are doing with the publishing protocol, but is syntax related. In an implementation of APP a single entry can appear both in the APP collection and in any number of arbitrary feeds that the site subsequently offers. These feeds / collections can be optimized
