The list of values which can be used in format strings is:

http://docs.python.org/lib/node357.html

The list of internal values is not (e.g. msg, args, exc_text) and I suppose the 
documentation could be updated to include them, but they're implementation 
details so I don't really want to encourage changing them. If you need to, it's 
easy enough to pick up the info from the source code for LogRecord.__init__(), 
which does all the setup.
