The remaining 8 are taken off of HP. Your reading too much into it. What it's really saying is just that all SDC has to be gone before normal HP can be hit.

If you have 12, are hit with 20, then after 12, your SDC is gone, and the reamining 8 come off hit points.

It is merely an accounting note that you have to mark off all SDC before marking off HP, but both can happen in the same attack.

You can have something done good, fast and cheap. If you want it done good and fast, it's not going to be cheap. If you want it done fast and cheap it won't be good. If you want something done good and cheap it won't be done fast. ~ Dark Brandon

Can't say much more the NS did so I won't.

On normal attacks yes. There are a few cases (spells) which H.P. are affected and S.D.C. is left alone. All cases are stated in the description of the individual power/spell/etc.

Well yes, but there's generally little point to say "there are exceptions in the form of abilitites that clearly say they are exceptions".

Generally, if you found the exception, you know what it is ;)

....which are denoted as "HP Damage" or "damage strait to HP" or some similar text.(to fill out ZV's sentence.)
