"personally I wouldn't mind having this dual usage but maybe it would make the W3 spec people throw a hissy fit."
They would be right to do so. 206 implies that the request is done. It is a very fundamental difference for 206 to stop meaning that. One can not just gloss over the fact that one of the connection may very well have closed the TCP stream. That's not a theoretical objection, that's a very pragmatic one.
