No, as I said, "SRPGs" are TBSes (except for any that are realtime, though I can't think of any such games). They aren't two separate subgenres.
X-Com: tactical strategy PC game. TBS.
Jagged Alliance: tactical strategy PC game. TBS.
SWAT 2: tactical strategy PC game. TBS, I think (that it wasn't realtime).
Final Fantasy Tactics: tactical strategy console game. RPG-inspired TBS. "SRPG".
Dark Wizard: fantasy strategy console game. TBS bordering on wargame in some respects. "SRPG"
Battle for Wesnoth: freeware PC fantasy strategy game TBS, bordering on wargame. TBS.
And I'm not even getting in to stuff like Disciples or Heroes of Might & Magic...
... erm, yeah, it makes PERFECT sense to pretend that similar games are in completely different genres simply because of the platform they were released on... yup...
