RE: CAP Example READ-1
The way to fix this is to index not on record number, but on a property
value or more than one property value. So if I'm looking at a list of tasks
sorted by date entered, and I hit "page down", my CUA should take a look at
the value of the date entered of the last task showing, and ask for the next
screenful based on that value.
This is different than simply doing a query where the property is
constrained to being greater than a certain value. If you consider a task
list sorted by category and then by title, there is no ordinary search query
that gives me 20 rows starting from category="personal" and title="Call
Mom". It's related, but it's not quite the same thing.

Unless the server stores the results of the initial search and
subsequent reads are performed on the same data set there are serious
problems with this approach.
If data is deleted between queries the position of the results may
change, so that what was result 12 on the first query may become
result 8 for the second query. If I query for the first 10 and then
second 10 I will never receive that information. Similarly if data is
added I may end up receiving the same information twice.
So, if we really want the ability to incrementally retrieve data from
a search we need to add a facility for referencing search results on
the server.
