Giving this idea some more thought it might be possible to reduce the number of names significantly.

Examples:
=========

    const_qualified
  would become
    tag const

    tag<const_qualified, variadic>
  would become
    tag const & (...) 

    tag<non_const, variadic>
  would become
    tag_not const & (...)

    tag<non_const, non_variadic>
  would become
    tag_not const & ()

    tag<non_const, variadic>
  would become
    tag_not const & (...)

    tag<non_const, volatile_qualified, variadic>
  would become
    tag_not const * volatile & (...)

    tag<default_cc, const_qualified, non_variadic>
  would become
    default_cc :: tag const & ()

Names left:
===========

  tag
  tag_not
  default_cc
  // ... custom calling conventions

I'm not sure it would be more usable, though...
