+1. And to draw out the more generic - I believe there is a concept of a sponsoring project/board as well as a sponsoring member. In the case of XMLBeans, I see (rightly or wrongly) the XML project as being ultimately responsible for the project's incubation. (Although Ted is doing most of the work :>.) In other cases - the sponsor is the board. That doesn't mean that there is a TLP for the project, just that the board has sponsored the incubation and is taking active interest in the process, with and expectation that should the project successfuly leave the incubator, it do so as a newly formed TLP. Finally, the incubator also has a PMC that can sponsor and accept, and I would expect that in those cases, the incubator is taking the active interest. In those cases, final destination is a little unclear, but that probably just becomes a piece that has to be worked through in incubation.
