This is likely my fault. I'm sure I had read on some thread somewhere 
(perhaps on another list) that ranges were ok. Any other opinions before 
I fix this in CGEN?

I have no objection to changing this, except to note that the extra
verbosity comes from a rule that predates modern software distribution
models (where releases are immediate and continuous), and is also not
deemed necessary by many other organizations.  I would not voluntarily
go along with this rule, but wouldn't stop others for whom rule
following is next to godliness.
