I'm not deterred by that note. It sounds like the spec authors have done their best to not overly constrain implementations with potentially difficult requirements. To me, a server that has a non-deterministic stability of the sorting when doing pagination is unfortunate but also not entirely unreasonable. In practice, such things are nearly indistinguishable, to clients, from cases where items are being inserted or deleted concurrently. Simply having an offset and a limit does not guarantee that paginating over the whole collection will return each item exactly once. Doing that requires stable collection snapshots that persist for the duration of client sessions and other such complicated stuff. So, to me, the LDP language is just being realistic and avoiding certain burdens of scale that many find untenable. In practice, it's a very reasonable paging behavior. -- GitHub Notif of comment by tilgovi See https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/50#issuecomment-139025185
