No it does not. One runnning application instance can manage multiple, 
independent SDI windows, each with a different "document" context. 
That's still SDI.

It seems that various hybrid implementations have caused confusion over 
the years. Classic Delphi IDE is one such example. Borland added logic 
to make the SDI model work more like the MDI one for the editing window.

The early MDI implementations in Windows were quite lame and inflexible. 
I think that's why MS abandoned their early MDI attempts and made 
Word/Excel/etc into SDI.

So, enough of this.
