Section 7 says: 

The list of SMTP extensions provided on page 10 of RFC 4409
unfortunately is incomplete.  As far as I can see, the following
RFCs with SMTP extensions predate the publication of RFC 4409:

  o  RFC 2645  -- ATRN
  o  RFC 2852  -- DELIVERBY
  o  RFC 3865 (+ RFC 4095)  -- NO-SOLICITING
  o  RFC 4141  -- CONPERM, CONNEG
[ o  RFC 4405 ]

Notes:

Quickly browsing these RFCs, I found that only RFC 4405 has
followed the specification in Section 7 of RFC 2476 (literally
carried over to RFC 4409):

Future SMTP extensions SHOULD explicitly specify if they are valid on
the Submission port.

and contains a definitive statement to this end.
RFC 4405 therefore arguably might be excluded from the list.

It would have been useful to have a complete list, with the
proper applicability keywords for the above SMTP extensions.
