If I might put in my $.02, I would add that in 2002 the Vatican established an Apostolic Administration for the Society of St. John Vianney in the diocese of Campos, Brazil. The S.S.J.V. was in a situation similar to that of the S.S.P.X. until they were regularized by Rome. They are led by Bishop Fernando Areas Rifan. The Apostolic Administration is essentially an independent diocese operating within the diocese of Campos and a couple of surrounding dioceses.
As far as traditional groups in communion with Rome, I can tell you that the F.S.S.P. and I.C.K. have ordained twenty new priests this year alone. Both have many seminarians in formation with plans to expand their seminaries. The Institute of Christ the King this year announced the formation of a traditional religious society for women. The Institute has two missions in Africa, three apostolates in Wisconsin, one in Rockford, Illinois, and Cardinal George has recently invited the Institute to revitalize a defunct inner-city parish in Chicago.
The F.S.S.P. has two seminaries. One is in Wigratzbad, Germany, and the other in Denton, Nebraska. The Fraternity is present in more than 50 dioceses spread over 15 countries and four continents. The F.S.S.P. currently has nearly 170 priests and 120 seminarians in formation.
Far from being a limited provision, the Ecclesia Dei indult recognizes the rightful attachment of Catholics to the treasure that is the Missal of Pope St. Pius V. As has been indicated before, the Latin Rite of the Church can boast various rites and uses including the Ambrosian Rite, the Mozarabic Rite, the Braga Rite, and the Sarum Use. Recently the Vatican granted permission for yet another use within the Latin Rite - the Anglican Use - to accomodate those returning to the Catholic Church from Anglicanism. All of these various rites and uses exist side by side with the Novus Ordo Missae just as the Latin Rite of the Church peacefully coexists with the nearly twenty Eastern Rites recognized by Rome (e.g. the Coptic, Chaldean, Syro-Malabar, etc.)
