i think you need to distinguish between content-encoding and transfer-encoding?
content-encoding <= etag < range selection < transfer-encoding
see also section 4 of rfc 3229:
"However, it is clear that Range selection needs to be done after the
entity tag has been assigned and after any content-coding has been
applied, and before any transfer-coding is applied."
hope that helps just a little bit...
