Not too hard, but, yes, complicate.  I need to store
in the Operation structure (ors_slimitErr, ors_tlimitErr?)
the error code to be returned in case either of the limits
is hit.  Currently, the value requested by the client is
turned into the most appropriate value in ors_slimit, ors_tlimit,
so that both the backend and the frontend when sending results
have no knowledge of the difference between the requested
and the applicabel limits.

Your suggestion seems to make sense, though.
