And it's not all feats. Reserve, Psionic and Exalted feats are (Su) and Domain feats are SLA's iirc.

But yes, assuming that feats are (Ex) unless specified otherwise would make them special qualities, since every special ability that's not an attack is a special quality by default..
ill look for it later and post if i find it anywhere else too.
