RFC 5267 defined the original PARTIAL return option definition that this 
document extends.

RFC 4731 defined the ALL, COUNT, MIN and MAX return options. RFC 9051 
absorbed RFC 4731 into IMAP4rev2.

Any suggestions on how to clarify this?

Yes.

Ok, I will add a reference to RFC 4731 and RFC 9051.

The result is the same whether MIN or MAX are present or absent in this 
case.

It applies to both. I will clarify.

Best Regards,
