I agree with the
problem;

The problem is
rooted in the fact that assuming that a document has an "insertion
time", is assuming the document lives as-is in a database. 

This all goes
back to the "STIX and TAXII are not a database" mantra.

OK, my use-case is as follows.

I have a sensor that ingests large amounts of data (parsing network logs
/ netflow, passiveDNS, etc). This sensor stores the data in its own
format, with the timestamp being accurate to the second. If I were to
build an interface that responds to TAXII queries for the collector in
front of the sensor, and I were to query this data, I'd be dealing with
large data-sets and I'd want to paginate it.

Unless I set a limit that will probably blow through my memory
limitations, I have no other TAXII-compliant way to paginate the data in
sane chunks without either losing some data (anything beyond the memory
limit's envelope for a given second) or without blowing through my
memory limits.

Best regards,
Andras
