The standard way to encode pagination information into a calm url?

Question

I think my question will be better explained with a few examples ...

GET http: // myservice / myresource /? Name = xxx & country = xxxx & _page = 3 & _page_len = 10 & _order = name asc

that is, on the one hand, I have conditions (name = xxx & country = xxxx), and on the other hand I have parameters that affect the request (_page = 3 & _page_len = 10 & _order = name asc)

now, although I use a special prefix ("_" in the case) to avoid clashes between conditions and parameters (what if my resource has the "order" property?)

Is there a standard way to deal with these situations?

I found this example (just pick) http://www.peej.co.uk/articles/restfully-delicious.html

GET http://del.icio.us/api/peej/bookmarks/?tag=mytag&dt=2009-05-30&start=1&end=2

but in this case the condition fields are already defined (there is no initial and final property)

I am looking for some kind of general solution ...

- edit, a more detailed example to clarify

Each element is completely separate from each other ... let them say that my resources are clients, and that (fortunately) I have a couple of millions of them in my db.

so url might be something like

http: // myservice / customers /? country = argentina, last_operation = 2009-01-01. 2010-01-01

This should give me all the customers from Argentina who bought something last year.
