On results not always getting filtered down: this is because of multiple-value properties. For example, if you have are looking at a list of dogs filtered to only show gentle dogs, but all gentle dogs happen to also be active dogs, then adding the "Active" filter would not narrow down the set of results.

At this point, Pivot only supports an "OR" operation between filters within the same category - so if you check "gentle" and "active" checkboxes, then the set of dogs will be reduced to show those that includes all dogs that are gentle OR active. We are considering expanding this functionality for the future releases. – alexwein, on November 20, 2009 21:36

UPDATED:

To make Pivot aware of the fact that your HTTP endpoint returns a collection, change the mime type with "text/cxml". Since your web server is probably not aware of this mime type, you should also configure your web server to compress the output using gzip (should also be possible with .htaccess or httpd.conf on Apache).

One way you could do this is to right-click on the filter category title, and click "Select All". Then, just uncheck the checkboxes for the filter checkboxes you'd like to exclude.
