So first implement a FeatureList and tell me if you need more - grumble

Seriously the support for paged queries is will understood and is part 
of the WFS 1.1 Query (so Justin will be asking
for this any day, I just need someone to show interest - and then unlike 
with FeatureList someone with a will to implement).

Yep you got it, now lets just check with the the WFS 1.1 spec (and 
possible the catalog spec) to make sure we are using the correct
names (I am pretty sure it was not fromIndex).
