Even in this case it may make sense to query for results 100 to 199, right? So adding an extension to DAV:limit seems to be reasonable (if a server can reject it): <limit xmlns="DAV:"> <start-at>100</start-at> <nresults>100</nresults> </limit> *If* a server *does* store query results, it may make sense to a) add an option to return an identifier for the stored query (a URI I guess), b) add an option to refer to this stored query result. However, this certainly sounds like out-of-scope, unless the members of this mailing list feel differently (and are prepared to implement it...).
