Nope, dots mean only "start here". They are an alignment tool for interchangeable lens systems.

Here's a list of compatible lenses for the SL1; http://lenshero.com/lenses/Canon-SL1-lens

There's no listing for extension tubes, however, as you can see, the SL1 is compatible with EF and EF-S lenses. If your extension tubes are intended for that system, there's a very good chance they will operate with the SL1. Of course, any time you go off brand with a camera, it's best to actually try the device with your camera before you buy.

The problem isn't with attaching the extension tubes to the body - it can take EF or EF-S. The problem is with attaching EF-S lenses to the extension tubes unless they are the type to accept EF-S lenses.
