This Microsoft document tells how to change product key
for XP/SP1 .....

Is there a corresponding document for XP/SP2? Thank you.

Okay, fine. Is there a new "document' to cover this?
How about instructions for 'repair install' with
specific reference to changing retail/oem key?

No there is isn't a current Microsoft site hosting a document that is
specific to SP2. Use the current instruction set for Windows XP.
