For example, I feel very comfortable reviewing a proposal about
garbage collection or containers, but I would have little clue what
I was doing if I reviewed an XML proposal. I'd be able to tell a
mediocre XML proposal from a terrible one, but not a great one from
a mediocre one.
I'll guess you are not expected to review a proposal you're not
interested in. It make no sense.
An experienced mentor can assess the quality of a proposal that's
outside his direct interest.

Right. Ironically I realized that when I actually tried. I used XML as
an example of something I know nothing about, but it's still painfully
obvious whether a proposal is ridiculously vague or not.
