I've been considering asking the Opensearch folks if they would be
willing to separate their next/previous/first/last link relations out to
a separate spec that could be made a working group draft. The paging
functionality they offer provides a solution to paging in the protocol
and are generally useful across a broad variety of feed application
cases. Regardless, it would be very good to see these registered.

In case anyone is interested, the OpenSearch Response draft can be

The rel values they support include next, previous (not prev), start
and end. They have a note next to each saying "This value is pending
IETF registration". Does that mean they've actually started some kind
of registration process or they're just hoping to do so at some point
in the future?
Another issue worth noting is that their example RSS feed is also
using atom:link to provide this functionality.

No, but Amazon OpenSearch has been threatening to register it, FWIW. :)
