I shall assume Clause 19 is the same as Clause 16.

I might agree with you if sequence types had been deleted from the standard.
The second sentence of paragraph 1 of Subclause 4.5.2.3 of 16-007r1 states

       The order of the component definitions in a sequence type
       specifies a storage sequence for objects of that type.

I think it would be preferable to say it specifies "the" storage 
sequence for
objects of that type, because I do not think the text anticipates there 
being
more than one storage sequence.
