While nothing is confirmed, there's some speculation throughout the "Return of the King Movie Guide" on what may or may not be in the extended edition of RoTK which can be found on this site: http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/
Plus, lots of cool and insightful information for anyone who wants to know everything about Tolkien they can.

What I want from the Extended cut:
A good resolution to Saruman and Wormtongue (I *really* want to see that staff cracked, and Wormtongue throwing the palantir out of Orthanc).
A wrap-up romance with Eowyn and Faramir in the House of Healing.
There's a shot in the trailer of Eomer weeping while cradling someone, I assume his father. I'd love to see this.
I'd also really like to see the Denethor's palantir sub-plot. I think this would explain a lot about why he acts like such a madman in the movie.
I know we'll never get to see the Scouring, which is a disappointment (how awesome would it be to see these 4 hobbits just totally take control of a situation, especially Merry and Pippin, we've been watching those 2 basically get led around the last 12 hours...)
