PaceEntryQuery is a good start on the semantics of client-specified subsets--but what about server-specified subsets? I've thought about it a bit and drafted PaceServerCollectionSubsets.


I believe we should make it clear that the server MAY return a 206 (Partial Content) response even if the client did not ask for a subset.

Can't do this. RFC2616: "The request MUST have included a Range header field"

This may seem particular and inflexible as a general query language, but if we think of it instead as a syncing protocol

I'm not sure how useful this is approach. There's always a chance the state of the collection will change between requests.
