It is my observation that TPTB is very reluctant to offer such
definitions or mandates, even when requested. "Picking our way through
such matters with varying degrees of success" -- it seems to be the
wiki way. Try just making your own definitions (as a project), and I
guess you'll find out if you've been too WP:BOLD if you notice some
personal interventions after that. :)
It doesn't seem ideal, but I guess I can understand why they're
reluctant to define such things. Then the criticism of such things
also falls to them. The people who are actually running the project
should take control of its direction at some stage... although
mandates would make life so easy.
