>  TIP #123: Exponentiation Operator

TIP #123: YES

>  TIP #137: Script Encoding Specification

This is close, but I think an alternative for the tclsh and wish command
line option would be far better.

If the TIP were revised to spell out that the "-encoding" option is only
to be recognized when it comes before a script filename (that appears to
be the intent), and it were spelled out that any prefix of "-encoding"
would also be so recognized, then the second form becomes unnecessary,
because  

#!/path/to/tclsh -e utf-8

has the same number of characters as

#!/path/to/tclsh -e:utf-8

With that revision, I would support, but as is:

TIP #137: NO

I'd also suggest that wish should recognize either the "-file" option
or the "-encoding" option, but not both.  Any script maintainers taking
the time to add "-encoding" to their wish calls should be encouraged
to remove "-file" at the same time.

With prior warning a vote was imminent, I could have offered these
alternatives at a better time.

>  TIP #139: Part Publication of the Namespace API

I have reservations, but it seems the best way to handle them is 
in subsequent TIP(s)

TIP #139: YES
