My protocol design is consistent with this; it treats distinct and limit as protocol-level artifacts. (Which is not to say we shouldn't have DISTINCT or LIMIT keywords in the query syntax, any less than not having FROM -- these are useful but should be seen, I think, as hints to the protocol.) IMO.
