SR has too many similarities with Kakuzu's Earth Release: Earth Spear, that's why if it's really an elemental KG, one of it's components must me Earth Release too. But there's no free spots for this: all KG containing Earth Release are actually confirmed, aside from Explosion Release, whose components and nature weren't explained clearly. That's the main point of this discussion. Well, I haven't read the novel myself. But Steel Release could simply be the highest form of Earth Release, or possibly be Earth Release + Yang Release, although I'm not sure if that's possible. But overall, the mechanics behind Steel Release is rather vague and I don't believe it's been described in the novel or movie, so I think it would make more sense to value the existence of kekkei genkai that's actually appeared in the Manga and has been described better than one that hasn't.

EDIT:Just read Tau's post so I think there is no such thing as Explosion chakra. Well Sasuke wouldn't know what Deidara's kekkei genkai entail anyway, so of course he wouldn't mention lightning being the component. He just knows that earth is weak to lightning, and that Deidara's clay contains some earth chakra, and thus can be disrupted and neutralized with his lightning. Also, explosive chakra exist because it's the chakra that makes up explosion release, that is what I meant when I said that, and that is how Deidara makes his bombs explode since he has been confirmed to have it.
