 No, but you can attach various lenses to one, & many people will see 
 that as being 'interchangable', & IMO, it's just a another example of 
 how the fuzziness of the scope in the charter will cause confusion & 
 friction. 
  Nobody involved in writing the RFD has yet explained why they think it 
 would be a bad thing to just make the scope of the proposed group 
 *exactly* equivalent to the name of the group, thereby eliminating these 
 sorts of problems.
