Yes, that maps quite naturally.
Classic HTTP Range is byte-oriented, but custom range units (e.g. `Range: offsets=…`) or using `Link` headers for pagination both fit log semantics well.
I kept the initial API explicit (`offset` / `limit`) to stay obvious for curl users, but offset-range via headers is something I want to experiment with, especially if it helps generic tooling.
