  1. From the "Connectors for Specific Functions" section of http://kicad-pcb.org/libraries/klc/F3.6/, I think the last example there should start with SD_, right? SD_ is the [Function] and then microSD would be the [Standard].

  2. See Footprint for Molex 1041681620 kicad-footprints#624 (comment). The correct footprint name should be SD-SIM_microSD-microSIM_Molex_1041681620, right, since there are two functions/standards present in the same connector. Is there a better way to note a combo connector?

Such edge cases will always be hard to work with. Your example already has a major problem as to which lib should be chosen for this part? Coming up with a generic way to describe these might just be a waste of time as there are way too many possible combinations.

It might be preferable to have this connector duplicated. Once in the SD lib as a microSD part and once in the lib where other sim connectors are located named similarly to other sim connectors. (My guess would be that it might even happen that the pin numbers are different depending its usecase.)
