It should be something like execution context or similar.  You can
execute the same project/buildfile more than once and antcall
executes the given target within a new context.

Am I making sense?

Yes, you make sense and confirm that it means what I thought it did.
Thank you.

I think I prefer it as it is.  I was not assuming what you are assuming.
That is presumably why within antcall, properties are referred to as
params.

One unfortunate side affect (to me) of the antcall task is that
properties
set in the called task are available only within the scope of the
antcall.
I originally figured that since the task being called was within the
same
project, the properties would have project scope.

You can propagate information from a child scope to parent using
propertyfile to save the values to a temporary file
