What SIP/SPA modules are actually supported in the 6500 running SXH2?

The release notes only list the SIP-400 however the SIP-600 lists support for SXF and higher in 7600 and 6500 chassis.

SPA-1XOC48-POS/RPR is listed in the release notes and requires a SIP-400.
SPA-2XOC48-POS/RPR and SPA-4XOC48-POS/RPR require the SIP-600.
Are the higher port density SPAs actually supported or not?

SPA-OC192POS-XFP lists the 6500 as compatible.
SPA-1XTENGE-XFP lists the 6500 as compatible.
SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 does not have the 6500 listed as compatible.
Is the newer 10GE SPA card actually supported or have the BU wars
caused the SIP/SPA support to be frozen in the 6500?

The ES20 of course doesn't list the 6500 and I doubt it will ever get that support.
Someone can correct me if they believe otherwise.
