Using the terminology of the Feed History draft would IMHO be a Good 
Thing. I am +1 on it.

Specifying that every collection has to be an Archive Feed per Feed 
History would be a Bad Thing, though, since the restriction that entries 
are not allowed to be moved freely might places an improper burden on 
implementations. Eric is right about that. If that's what he meant by -1 
I'll second it.

It is possible, however, that in *some* cases your collection can be 
turned not only into a Paged Feed but a Archive Feed as well. See 
<http://www.imc.org/atom-protocol/mail-archive/msg06571.html> for an 
example where this is possible.
