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.

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?
