According to the documentation: "Support for almost all the elements
that are part of Simplified DocBook, as defined in the following URL:
http://docs.linux.cz/programming/markup/www.docbook.org/tdg/simple/en/html/sdocbook.html
The main omissions are support for bibliographies, multiple authors,
subtables within tables, and some element attributes. Chapter 7 below
contains a complete list of what SDoP does support."

No, just a freshmeat entry and a download location.
For clarity's sake this is primarily intersting for me since sdop and
xfpt are the canonical (and fastest) way for building exim's
documentation.
