Issue 151 (152 was a duplicate of it) was closed with the following 
changes:

>>   Range   = "Range" ":" OWS Range-v
>>   Range-v = byte-ranges-specifier
>>           / other-ranges-specifier
>>   other-ranges-specifier = 1*CHAR

=>

Range   = "Range" ":" OWS Range-v
Range-v = byte-ranges-specifier
           / other-ranges-specifier
other-ranges-specifier = other-range-unit "=" other-range-set
other-range-set = 1*CHAR
