Every TLP has an explicit charter when created by the board in the
resolution that creates them. How they interpret that and change
with the shifting sands of technology style is up to them....

Sam,
it's not just a question of content and significance. It's also a
question of fitting with existing projects and check to make sure
that
the project still adheres to the the charter of the PMC. These are
better checked by outsiders ("Incubator PMC"), since the insiders
("WS
PMC") may be biased.
I don't believe that it is the incubator's job to watch to make sure
that existing projects stay to their charters - that's the job of
the board.
Another thing i can think of is, for example, when HTTPComponents
(by
internal people) was being set up there was resistance from tomcat
folks. But the scope got resolved by active participation by folks
from tomcat and jakarta pmcs. IMHO, this will not happen if a PMC
already voted to accept something even before Incubator PMC knows
about it (not to mention the other PMC's who may significant input).
Again, I don't believe that it is the incubator's job to enforce
scope.
Furthermore, acceptance by the incubator is the start of a process,
not the end of it. There should be adequate opportunity for
people to
provide input during the course of incubation.
