I understand that in the runtime folders that the SXXscript stands for
startup and the KXXscript stands for kill. What do the XX stand for?

The scripts run in sort order, so their execution order is determined by 
the numbers in the XX locations.

Well, if for example your default runlevel is 5, then in the /etc/rc5.d 
directory (in Debian) (or /etc/rc.d/rc5/ in RedHat and RedHat-like 
systems), you may have a listing like this (this is just an example)

K12anacron  -> /etc/init.d/anacron
S02portmap  -> /etc/init.d/portmap
S11sshd     -> /etc/init.d/sshd
S43sendmail -> /etc/init.d/sendmail

...note that these are actually _not_ scripts but symbolic links to the 
actual scripts that reside in /etc/init.d, thus, in the above example, 
anacron will be killed, the portmapper started, followed by sshd and so 
on. The numbers XX dictate the order in which services are started/stopped.
