In "The elegant Universe" it is not explicitely mentioned, that in the Strominger and Vafa's extremal black holes the branes replace the singulatity, but how else should it be.

The shrinking of the size, which you mentioned is interesting. Do you infact mean that assuming equal masses the extremal BH is much smaller than the Schwarzschild BH? Is this consistent with GR however?
