Why not

-             [ &optional keywordp       ; this is key :before etc
-               &optional stringp ]      ; :extra can be followed by a 
string
+             [ &rest              ; multiple qualifiers are allowed
+               &or keywordp       ; this is key :before etc
+               stringp ]          ; :extra can be followed by a string

?

Do we anticipate any non-keyword, non-string qualifiers?
