The sfz v2 format is not really a single format with a specification, at
least that's not how it started. It started as different extensions to
the sfz v1 format used in different Cakewalk synthesizers.

But the extensions were then documented in an appendix in the book
"Cakewalk Synthesizers: From Presets to Power User" by Simon Cann, and
after that other sampler software started to support subsets of the opcodes.

I think much of the spec on Google docs you refer to was typed in right
from the book, so maybe that's why it's now inaccessible.

You can find a list of all sfz v2 opcodes here:
http://www.linuxsampler.org/sfz/, but unfortunately there are no
descriptions of what they do.
