Raphael,
in the first example (2-way) you make the server return a different  
range than the client requested, and also the range returned was nice  
and ragged. With the second example, with all the nice numbers, could  
something similar be happening too? For a documentation point of view  
it might be a good idea to return those same ranges, unless there  
really is a difference.
