Maybe I'm not clear enough on what you're looking for here. Will try to answer your question again. Poaching is considered a different technique from boiling because a poached egg is cooked in barely simmering -- not boiling -- water without the shell.
Basic preparation according to the American Egg Board, my culinary school notes and Le Guide Culinaire
Scrambled Eggs
Fried Eggs
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Poached Eggs -- a completely different method from hard or soft boiling because it's done out of the shell in simmering water
Baked (Shirred) Eggs
French Omelet
Savory Soufflé
Soft (Stirred) Custard Sauce
Baked Custard
Soft (Pie) Meringue and Hard (Swiss) Meringue

Poaching is totally different from boiling. With boiling, you saturate the food to be cooked in water (the level of liquid is normally more than a pint) or you bring a product to the boil 100 degrees Celcius. With poaching, you merely shallow cook the product with a little liquid i.e milk with fish and lemon or poached egg (poaching is always done in a shallow liquid). Another food that is poached is Pears steeped in a little red wine. One does not boil the product as there is not enough fluid. Poaching is a little similar to steaming: - it helps to bring out the flavours of food without destroying it. Approximately 50 years ago people would boil everything. The most common food at that time was Cabbage. It was boiled to almost nothing and tasted like it too.

Everyone is forgetting a very old-style method--"shirred"!
Eggs are broken into custard cups, than placed in a pan of water and baked.
Never actually had them, but am an avid recipe reader, and have seen them mentioned numerous times!!
Oops, someone beat me.
