My initial reaction is that the pipes are redundant (syntactic vinegar). Syntactic order is sufficient.
The changes to my SQL grammar to accomodate this proposal are minor. Move the 'from' rule to the front. Add a star '*' around a new filters rule (eg zero-or-more, in any order), removing the misc dialect specific alts, simplifying my grammar a bit.

Drop the pipes and this would be terrific.
