Someone from the list contacted the EAA, way to go! This is not to say that you didn't get the straight from Bryan first anyhow...
From EAA eHotline:
Question of the Week
I am currently building a Zenith STOL CH701 from plans. There has been much discussion as of late regarding the E-LSA deadline. Will the CH701 be registered as an E-LSA if I complete it later this year or next or will I have to register it as an experimental amateur-built? Also, is there a list of kits that will qualify for E-LSA?
Answer:
No, your CH701 will not be certificated as an E-LSA. It will be certificated as experimental amateur-built (E-AB). There is no method for certificating your kit under E-LSA after the January 31, 2008, deadline.
However, since the aircraft fits the LSA definition, it will be eligible to be operated by sport pilots even though it is certificated as E-AB.
There are currently no kits on the market that qualify for E-LSA certification under the "post-January 31" rules. Thus there is no list of E-LSA kits at the present time.
