Hey Erin,
Nice work! A couple of comments:
1) I knew I'd seen the notation you use here: "193/6 = 32.2 ? 50"
before but wasn't quite sure what you meant by it. Eli said it could
be a ternary operator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Ternary_operation), but the examples I've seen of this don't seem to
match up with what you've written. For instance, it appears in this
statement ("193/6 = 32.2 ? 50") you are saying "round 32.2 up to 50."
However, I'm not sure what "Display all multiples of I ? T" means.
Perhaps you could explain that notation near the top of the rules if
you'd like to use it, or write it out in words?
2) Although I know we want to put things close together, I'm wondering
if having once space each between the 5 numbers in the "center" may
make it a little hard to parse the content at a glance? What if we
instead used this Spacing Rule: "Place 2 spaces between a pair of
consecutive numbers"?
Cheers,
Allison

Hey Erin,
Sorry for the late response -- just found this in my inbox.
These rules seem fine. I really like that you've identified the
purpose for the midrange display. The real test will be when we do
user testing to see if the purpose is met. Nice job!
One note on the page, it's not clear if the "Paging Rules (Old)" are
still relevant or not. If not perhaps we want to move them off this
page. If they are, I'd suggest the midrange rules become part of
the overall rules.

One of the next steps for Pager would be to design and implement
what we call the "mid-range display".
What is mid-range display?
Let me explain with an example. :) Let's say you're on page 45 of
102 pages.
Instead of showing the page numbers the traditional way, like this:
.. 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 ..
we'd like to show the entire range:
1 20 40 43 44 45 46 47 50 60 80 90 100 106
so the user has quicker access to the pages in the middle and while
still having easy access to the near-by pages.
The first draft of the rules is on the wiki if you are interested:

It's a work in progress, and as usual, feedbacks are welcome.
