What item follows the clearance limit in the standard clearance items order?

The immediate item after the clearance limit is the SID because, when a published departure procedure is assigned, the clearance specifies the exact departure path right away. A Standard Instrument Departure defines the initial segment from the airport to join en-route airways, so it appears directly after the clearance limit to make the departure unambiguous. If no SID is used, the next item would be the route description instead. The altitude and speed (Mach) come later in the clearance after the route/SID has been established.
