The intent here was to say that the *set* of entries is generally

so, how about:
- Attribute Value: first
- Description: A stable URI that, when dereferenced, returns a feed
document containing the set of entries furthest preceding those in
the current document at the time it was minted. This can be thought
of as specific to those entries; in other words, it represents a
fixed section of the feed, rather than a sliding window over it. Note
that the exact nature of the ordering between the entries and
documents containing them is not defined by this relation; i.e., this
relation is only relative.

It's a hard line to walk.
Hmm.. better than before. It would be better if you left it at the "at
the time it was minted" part and left out the sentence that follows.
But I can live with it.
