That sounds like it is consistent with a 303 response but not to a 200-x, according to what http-range-14 *ought* to have said. Which was, of course, that a 200-x response means that the URI denotes *the IR that emitted the response*, not just some IR or other. (What an incredible example of a fumbled ball.)
