What page of the PDF file you included says this? Page 5 is as follows, and
doesn't mention WGA.

What Is In Service Pack 3

Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released Windows XP updates,
including security updates and

hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases. For example, the service pack
includes functionality previously

released as updates, such as the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and
the Microsoft Core XML

Services 6.0 (MSXML6).

Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of
Windows, such as Windows Vista, to

Windows XP through XP SP3. For instance, Windows XP SP3 does not include
Windows Internet Explorer 7,

although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and
Internet Explorer 7, and it

will update whichever version is installed on the computer. For more
information about Internet Explorer 7,

visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx.

One notable exception is that, SP3 does include Network Access Protection
(NAP) to help organizations that

use Windows XP to take advantage of new features in the Windows Server® 2008
operating system.

Knowledge Base article 936929 lists all other all Knowledge Base articles
associated with updates that are

included in Windows XP SP3. The following sections also provide a high-level
description of the functionality

included in Windows XP SP3.

....page 11

Claudio... latest version of WGA will be installed by Windows Update after SP3
is installed. If you are concerned about what page 11 means, it just means that
you can install the standalone slipstreamed version of SP3 without entering a
key - that is the complete XP that contains SP3 built in, which must be burned
to a disc and installed either by booting into it or from within an existing XP
installation - a key *will* have to be entered in due time because WGA will
detect it not having one or having an invalid one (if one such was used to
install it).

You're confusing WPA with WGA. Yes, WGA is sometimes offered after
installing SP3 or if you don't install SP3. One does not have to install
it, however.

"Alias" <"sometimes"? what does it means? in SP3 is included WGA?

WGA is NOT included in SP3. After you install SP3, or if you don't
install SP3, you may or may not be offered WGA via auto updates.

As in Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Windows Vista, users can now complete
operating system installation without providing a product key during a full,
integrated installation of Windows XP SP3. The operating system will prompt
the user for a product key later as part of Genuine Advantage.

I'm talking about this.. As you can see. It talks about "Genuine advantage"
at page 10
