Conflicting info between the global Security Bulletin and some SPi Security Bulletin

The global detailed Security Bulleting is given in:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

I did find the following problems there.
I normally use Win 2K + SP4.
According the Security Bulletin for the release of SP4,
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windows2000/w2ksp4.mspx)
it contains all new (new - with respect to SP3) patches in the range:
MS01-022 (4.18.2001) till MS03-030 (7.23.2003)
and of course also all prior patches from SP1 to SP3.

But when I looked in that detailed global list, I find for example that as old
MS00--077 (10.13.2000 !) and many other older than MS03-030
should be applied to W2K/SP4. This doesn't make sense.

I found the exact same contradictions with regard to Win XP SP2.
In this case, I found even a worse situation, when patch # MS03-011
showing up in the detailed global list, which according to its date
and patch # should be included in the Security Bulletin list for
WXP/SP2 but it is not!. This list is given in:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windowsXP/xpsp2.mspx


So I don't know what to make of it and how I can rely on that
detailed global list in terms of what to pickup from it and apply to W2K/SP4
(and the same for WXP/SP2).

Any idea?

Thanks,
David
