You put the finger on one important note to me: that speed commands are
"the same" as their longer counterpart. It should be good if all of
them could be obtainable by adding "C-c C-" in front of the speed
command.
With that focus in mind, I find `C-c x' not a good one (for checkboxes);
though, in that case, speed commands don't come into play. But I find it
too different from the `C-c C-' construct used for the others?

Globally, it's fine!
Last remark about `C-c <' which I find not good:
- `<' in used for filtering categories in the agenda,
- semantically, what `C-c @' does is a `C-x h' limited to a subtree;
maybe there could be something inspiring similar to `C-x h'? Maybe
`C-u C-x h'?
