They are semantically equivalent.  The boundary parts are for defining
semi-spaces, which cannot be expressed with the range pair.

I do not think that is a correct assumption. I am not familiar with
the "MUST" issue you are focusing on.  What version of what document
are you referencing here?

The entire range-value element is meant to be expressing a disjunction
of simple semi-space, exact, or interval constraints.  So, if I
expressed:

  OR          [the combining logic of all range value elements]
    x > 0     [as a boundary sub-element]
    x = 4     [as an exact match sub-element]
    5 < x < 7 [as a range sub-element]

it would be semantically equivalent to just the first constraint x >
0.
