There's an interesting article on Technical Taco, "Range header, I choose you (for pagination)!" The author makes a good case.

I'm thinking 'next' rather than 'next-page' because it seems to me that "next blog post" and "next page of results" would both benefit from basically the same thing, considering a paginated resultset to be a collection of collections of size $page_size.
Seems like the sort of thing a browser extension could easily pick up on and do something useful with.
You can try it on my blog at http://pygm.us/vwR2WSYJ or a thread in NeoGAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=559996.
Something Awful used to support it, but they broke it by making the Last Page button the designated `next` destination, unfortunately.
It’s really the only way to go through pagination-heavy content. Anything else is way too tedious.
Everyone with a blog should implement this. It’s just silly not to.
