It's rather long, and still in progress, so I'm not going to include it 
here.

You can compare and contrast it with PaceCollectionSyntax. The included 
text covers all of the capabilities of PaceCollectionSyntax in 
sufficient detail, I think. PaceCollectionSyntax provides a <next> 
element, which PaceOrderedCollection accomplishes through ranges. Other 
capabilities listed in PaceCollectionSyntax would be accomplished 
through other HTTP methods such as PROPFIND, SEARCH, or REPORT.

It does not address a Date-oriented query, though it assumes an 
atom:updated order for the examples it gives. Approaches for a 
date-oriented query are given in PaceEntryQuery. Note that it still 
allows moving over a collection in managable chunks, but does not 
preclude the addition of say, a SEARCH or PROPFIND request to the 
collection resource.
