Here's another answer.

ARM = Every Pocket PC made since 2002

MIPS = Early Casio PPCs and some Handheld PCs

SH3 = pre-2002 HP Jornadas

StrongARM = Same as ARM

XScale = Same as ARM

They all describe the programs written for processor types. Back in 2002 MS decreed that in order to be called a PPC all new device must use ARM compatible processors.
