This is okay, but maybe it will need a slight modification, see
below.

You never say what is the valid syntax of RANGE. Do I understand
correctly that RANGE could be "12-34"? Can it also be "1 2 3 4",
i.e. a list of numbers? What about mixing those ("1-10 25 35")?

Depending on the answers, the NEWS entry might need some clarification
or maybe just an example.

Thanks.
