Melee Range?

I'm not sure exactly where to ask this but I figure you guys will know:
What is 'melee range' supposed to be?

I could have sworn that they increased the standard range of melee powers to 10' not long back but I've just noticed that nearly all powers show a range of 7' in the in-game info. Did I dream this or what?

If you think about it, though, you don't just hold your arm or leg out and wait for someone to run into it. You might take a step or two in order to do a jump-kick. That can easily clear ten feet.

I thought it was changed from 5 feet to 7 feet

Not 7 to 10

This was just slowly dawning on me. I did dream it then, never mind, carry on.

I have always felt that the weapon sets should have a greater range

Well, you're not just going to be standing there completely immobile with a strict distance of 7 feet either.

I could easily punch or kick someone standing 7 feet from me, simply because I would be taking a step forward anyway, in order to put more power into it. That step forward would carry me into striking distance within the span of the time it takes to throw a punch or kick.
