Possibly, although in your case I would say the continue should be continue=2 to skip two items, but the more important thing is that given an arbitrary query, there should never be a case of different continues. For example, there shouldn't be this kind of sequence required for iteration: original, original+start, original+start+continue, original+start2+continue, where start, start2, and continue are continuation values returned in query-continue with each subsequent call.
