I agree, for much the same reasons. However, the maximal one is
incomplete. A fuller list is in draft-manning-dsua-03.txt. Obviously,
as a draft you mayn't refer to it as a reference, but there's no harm in
cribbing. :^)

        0.0.0.0/8
        127.0.0.0/8
        192.0.2.0/24
        10.0.0.0/8
        172.16.0.0/12
        192.168.0.0/16
        169.254.0.0/16
        all D/E space


Aside from the ones which you list:
0.0.0.0/8 is hopefully obvious.
"192.0.2.0/24 is listed as the TEST-NET." - for use in docs & testcode
"169.254.0.0/16 has been ear-marked as the IP range to use for end node
auto-configuration when a DHCP server may not be found."
