Yes. Though as I mentioned you don't really have to (you can, but don't have
to) invent the new "+" syntax, if you think the " " syntax (which also works
and always did) looks good enough. If you think it is good enough, the manual
page can recommend using space (not the vertical bar) for the "and" of
several modifiers, and it will no longer look inconsistent (on what a vertical
bar means) as it does now.

The new "," syntax isn't strictly necessary, because as you said it is just a
shortcut for several identical lines. Do you expect this to be a useful
shortcut? Why would anyone want to bind "Either control-A or alt-shift-A"
to a certain action? Or am I missing an important use case?
