I'm definitely OK with a third option.

If no one thinks it's safe to define new Range Units, perhaps the 
"Range" and "Content-Range" ABNF can have the ability to express 
non-"bytes" Range Units removed and a new header can be defined which 
has the same semantics, produces a Partial Content response, references 
the Unit Range registry and won't hose up proxies and other entities 
that aren't coded to deal with something other than "bytes" or "none" in 
"Accept-Range"?

e.g. "Range-Units-Accepted" and "Range-Unit" headers could be defined...
