I said basically because that is not entirely true. RPC and SOAP are message protocols that use xml as metadata. But the xml should be valid as defined in the the SOAP/RPC schema/doctype. So to nuance it; SOAP requests have to send/recieve valid SOAP xml data, most of the other requests are RESTful requests.
For the question of what they stand for, there is a little thing called search engines that can do miracle things 
Lol true. I don’t completely get it, but as long as I don’t need it, I guess I’m good for now :p
