This can be cumbersome and problematic for scenarios with streaming activity data, and/or very large collections. One possibility would be to also allow JSON text sequences https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464. Since they have their own media type, standard HTTP mechanisms could be used between a client and a server to negotiate the supported/preferred format for collections."
Hi Erik,

I included your raised issue in proposed face 2 face agenda point about
Collections
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-03-17#Day_1_-_Tuesday_17_March_2015

I also linked to that ISSUE from "Streaming & Push" wiki page
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Streaming_%26_Push

To my understanding currently we don't focus on coming up with clear
recommendation. At the same time we want to capture various requirements
for that and make sure that we don't make any design choices which will
make it problematic to add it in near future.

Cheers!
