What do you think about the following solution:
Only if one of the border residues is not present, the ">=/<="
selection mechanism is used instead. This would mean that nothing
would change with respect to numbering irregularities if one makes
sure that the border residues of a range are present. This is
currently already necessary in order to get a correct range selection.
If one of the border residues is not present, the selection is
currently not as desired in any case (nothing is selected). But by
using the other mechanism in these cases the selection would be
probably in >=95 percent as desired. So the overall failure rate would
be reduced. And the failure rate for cases with numbering
irregularities would not be increased. Only the type of the failure
would change.

Rolf
