You can still return Accept-Ranges and Content-Ranges with a 200 response code. These two response headers give you enough information to infer the same information that a 206 response code provides explicitly.

I would use Range for pagination, and have it simply return a 200 for a plain GET.

This feels 100% RESTful and doesn't make browsing any more difficult.
