Well, I derived all of that from RFC 2616 + common sense, so I don't think
any specification changes are necessary. 

I don't think the multipart/byteranges feature is valuable, because it
duplicates functionality that you can get with pipelined single-range
requests. So, the less effort spent on it, the better. Especially, I think
any clarifications here are much less important than other open issues.
