Re: Well, I'm no expert, but.... Excellent herbal summary :-)
I think Thai sweet basil is a bit different to western basil. Lemon-grass and kaffir lime leaves probably count as herbs, and are used in Thai cookery too.
I'd take issue with the difficulty of using too much parsley - especially some of the stronger curley-leaf varieties can easily overwhelm, well, anything really.
The only major European herb I can think of that you missed is bay (for the list, thow whole or corsely crushed leaves into meat stews for flavour, goes well with thyme).
