To be precise, it has

[14]    SolutionModifier      ::=    ............ LimitOffsetClauses?
[15]    LimitOffsetClauses    ::=    ( LimitClause OffsetClause? | OffsetClause LimitClause? )

Which is the same as

        SolutionModifier      ::=    ............ ( 
                                                  | LimitClause
                                                  | LimitClause OffsetClause
                                                  | OffsetClause
                                                  | OffsetClause LimitClause )

Which is equivalent (except the ordering) to

        SolutionModifier      ::=    ............  LimitClause? OffsetClause?

Which is what TMQL has. And where I would argue that it is simpler. Talking
about simplicity....
