Then you misunderstood something. This is neither a complete guaranteed to 
be complete grammar for POV-Ray, nor is it strictly an EBNF.

So, I ask again: Is there a complete grammar for POV-Ray available in BNF?

OK, my fault, I have to ask better questions. Here they are: Is there 
any document that describes the whole SDL? Can the SDL be defined in BNF 
or is it not possible because of its structure?

Thanks,

Nobody has tried yet. I would say it is probably not possible.
