Err, a few paragraphs before that it also says:

  "This specification documents the XML-RPC protocol implemented
   in UserLand Frontier 5.1."

If I want to talk to UserLand Frontier or be a replacement server
then I would have to (at least) do HTTP-POST support.  I don't see
any requirement for a program to have to do HTTP-POST in order to
claim XML-RPC compliance, although I would certainly agree that
HTTP is the default and most common transport.
