Yes, there's no logic to de-duplicate KVP parameters. It just append any present in the 
connection string

Apart Ctrl-C, no. Adding a -limit option to ogrinfo could also be done.

The server can advertize a larger default page size in the API document. This was 
implemented in the QGIS OPAIF provider, but I see that it isn't in the OGR one. Anyway, 
servers seem to stick to the default 10 which was chosen in the standard. I presume this 
might be for HTML rendering. Or maybe just the result of a (dodecahedronal) die roll.
