MS updates question

Please be kind as I am no security expert, I just have a question.  Are 
there security updates for windows xp that aren't posted on the windows 
update site?  When I go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, of all categories, 
I'm missing only 2 recommended updates (journal viewer, and windows 
messenger update).  however, when I run MS baseline Security Analyzer ver 
1.2, it tells me I have 5 security updates that are out of date or could 
not be confirmed: MS02-050, MS02-054, MS02-072, MS03-030, MS03-051. These 
I will manually update, but why the discrepancy?
