My point was that we are defining a paging API, not a query API. @secondsun I believe you meant that paging is a part of filtering which I would sort of agree with. You can page without a filter and filter without paging so I see those as separate. How that information is eventually grouped and sent as a single query string to the server is just an impl detail IMO and doesn't need to be part of the spec. Does that make more sense than my somewhat confusing first comment?
