Nice. Note that we can make it more explicit, e.g.,

  A descriptor follows the pattern:

    (KEY NAME FUN FLAG)

  where KEY is ...

The first line needs to end with the first sentence, i.e.,
"descriptors". Also, you need two spaces after each sentence.

OK. You could introduce :tag to make it easier,e.g.

  (string :tag "Key: ")
