How to use "minmagnitude" and "maxmagnitude" parameters correctly

[waytolive]

Please clarify the description of the parameters in FDSN Web Service Specifications Version 1.2 (2019-04-02):
"minmagnitude — Limit to events with a magnitude larger than the specified minimum."
"maxmagnitude — Limit to events with a magnitude smaller than the specified maximum."

Will selected results include the values ​​specified in minmagnitude and maxmagnitude?
If I specify parameters minmagnitude = 1 and maxmagnitude = 7
which of these results (1) or (2) I will get?
1: Magnitude values ​​in the catalog: 2,3,4,5,6
or
2: Magnitude values ​​in the catalog: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Yes, that is unfortunately vague language in the spec.

I believe, and I think most services, interpret "larger" as "greater than or equal, so option 2.

Would be good to fix the language in the next revision of the spec.
