I don't think so -- SMTP, FTP, NNTP, and telnet have nothing to do with HTTP, but they're certainly Internet protocols.

Sure, but there's typically only one protocol that's carried over any of them. Whereas with REST and XML-RPC and so forth, there's a whole cottage industry of using HTTP as a carrier, in much the same way that TCP is used at a lower level.

But you're right: there's "Networking / Generic Support", "Networking / Specific Protocols", and "Networking / HTTP-based", or some such.
