Because I also added - public static final char LMDL_EXTENSION_KEY = 
'u', I was worrying about if someone get confused with 
getLDMLExtensionXXX.  I do not like the term Keyword key and "type", but 
if we say "getLDMLExtensionValue", it looks like a value associated with 
LDML_EXTENSION_KEY.  So, how about this?

public static final char PRIVATE_USE_EXTENSION = 'x'; // changed from 
PRIVATE_USE_KEY
public static final char LDML_EXTENSION = 'u'; // changed from 
LOCALE_EXTENSION_KEY

Then,

Locale.getLDMLExtensionKeys ( <- getLDMLKeys)
Locale.getLDMLExtensionValue ( <- getLDMLType)
Builder.setLDMLExtensionValue ( <- setLDMLKeyword)

If no objections, I'll make the name changes.
