I don't understand. Anyway, I now suggest

  [@item1] and [@item1 p. 30]

  [@item1 -@item2 p. 30]

Downgrade is a bit strong.

I do not understand either.

  [cite: @item1 pp. 33, 35-37, and nowhere else]

suffix and locator are merged (AFAIU, in practice, there is no
distinction between locator and suffix): "pp. 33, 35-37, and nowehere
else".

See above.

See above.

Since A and B do not appear in the same parenthesis, two citations are
needed:

  [@K1 -@K2], and [@K3]

In fact, you're right, we don't need the colon, hence my other proposal.

Again, there's no real need to extract a locator. At least, not at the
parser level.

In [type: KEY :pre PRE :post SUF], PRE comes after KEY, which impedes
readability, IMO.

Double brackets are link syntax: there will be conflict if TYPE belongs
to `org-link-types'.

You can't. Is this needed?

If "A1 (PRE Y2)" is really needed, then yes, I think that's good enough.
Otherwise I think [@k1] is terse and nice.
