confused by ranges

| I'm having a quick look through vuln.xml:

|         <range><ge>2.0</ge><lt>2.0.50_3</lt></range>
| 
| Intuitively, that means you are vulnerable if you have versions >= 
| 2.0 or < 2.0.50_3.

This one is an AND : VER > 2.0 AND VER < 2.0.50_3

| Is that correct?  Is that how to apply the rules. I found the DTD 
| confused me more than the examples did.
| 
| This is an interesting example:
| 
|         <range><lt>1.1.2_1</lt></range>
|         <range><ge>2.0</ge></range>
| 
| Two range statements in the same package... instead of one range with 
| two operators.  Why?

This one is an OR, that is VER < 1.1.2_1 or VER > 2.0

because the version can't be < 1.1.2_1 and > 2.0.
