Not that I know of. I even emailed the FSF for clarification and got back that simplifications are oversimplifications and people really do need to read the license.
I always found that mildly ironic. If people widely read and understood the GFDL the FSF would lose significant credibility in short order.
My goodness the GFDL is a crap license for a wiki ...
Pure GFDL is useful only for the GNU manifesto nothing else. For anything else CC-BY-ND does the job better.
The modified version of the GFDL we use is just about acceptable for books but is still pretty poor.
