[SI-LIST] IBIS Confusion over Component/Package/Pin vs Define Package Model

I'm looking at the Component/Package/Pin RLC values of an IBIS
component (Micron 2Gb DDR2 SDRAM) and the Package Model RLC data. I
realise they won't be identical since they are measuring different
things, but even in the case of banded matrix components with 0
bandwidth (resistance matrix) they are way off.

For example, From the Component/Package/Pin section:

[Pin]          signal_name model_name   R_pin        L_pin        C_pin

[...]

L1             BA2         INPUT        293.00m      2.27nH       0.40pF
L2             BA0         INPUT        225.78m      1.80nH       0.31pF
L3             BA1         INPUT        164.66m      1.31nH       0.24pF

And from the define package model section:

[Model Data]
[Inductance Matrix]     Sparse_Matrix

[...]

[Row]   L1
L1      2.2E-09
L2      3.7E-10

[...]

[Row]   L2
L2      1.69E-09
L3      6E-10

[...]

[Row]   L3
L3      1.2E-09
L7      -6.59E-12

The inductance matrix is reasonable close...

[Capacitance Matrix]    Sparse_Matrix

[...]

[Row]   L1
L1      4.8E-13
L2      -3.47E-14

[...]

[Row]   L2
L2      3.84E-13
L3      -1.05E-13

[...]

[Row]   L3
L3      2.94E-13
L7      -4.26E-15

The capacitance matrix a little further off.

[Resistance Matrix]     Banded_Matrix
[Bandwidth]             0

[...]

[Row]   L1
-0.001546917
|
[Row]   L2
-0.000994774
|
[Row]   L3
-0.001111145


But the resistance matrix is off by a few orders of magnitude. I must
be missing something really basic. What am I not understanding here?
Or is this model just out of whack?
