Comment (by itamarst):

 1. Address all TODOs mentioning 3907, using new proposed design where
 truncated responses are acceptable so long as they are internally
 consistent.
 2. The client should validate the length of response matches what is
 claimed in the Content-Range header. If it doesn't, this is either a bug,
 or in the case of mutables suggests a write happened while reading. Either
 way the data should be thrown away.
