The Apache board of director requested some time ago that oversight over the individual projects be improved. The XML project's PMC couldn't provide the demanded oversight over so many projects. The XML project is in the process of being broken down. For example, Xalan and Xerces both become top-level projects. The same happened with Forrest a bit earlier.
XML Graphics was created to host both FOP and Batik because both subprojects each implement an XML specification that is used to create graphical output. Additionally, both subprojects have certain parts they are both interested in (ex. PDF library, SVG to PDF conversion etc.). We will soon create an area where common components (used by both subprojects) will be maintained. And with the reduced size and the mutual interest of the subprojects we can reestablish the oversight that the board requested. I hope that answers it.
