@steve I think
we need to emphasize that timelines can be built from regular collections, even unordered ones, by using some intermediate representations specific to the type of timeline that a client wants to render.

The fact that the specification does not directly support a mapping between a collection and a responsive timeline, *DOES NOT MEAN* one can't be built from it, only that it requires a little more effort on the client side.

My goto example is how rich mail clients allow responsive mailbox representations on top of a much less expressive collection method that IMAP provides compared to ActivityPub.
