Section 4.4. says:
For byte ranges, failing to overlap the current extent means that the first-byte-pos of all of the byte-range-spec values were greater than the current length of the selected representation.
It should say:
For byte ranges, failing to overlap the current extent means that the first-byte-pos of all of the byte-range-spec values were greater than or equal to the current length of the selected representation. ^^^^^^^^^^^
Notes:
If the length of the representation is 500 bytes, then the range of the entire representation is 0-499. Then a range starting at byte position 500 fails to overlap the representation.
