What you think you may have said clearly, I'm not sure I fully understand. All I know is that Will posted a simple xml file and identified two possible interpretations. I would have picked one, from what I gather, you would have picked the other, and Duncan and Stefano would have picked a third. One potential area of confusion is starting to dawn on me - in most programming languages, while constants and variables may be defined separately, they tend to be referenced with an identical syntax. Now that you are talking about how this will be implemented, I am starting to get the impression that this will not be the case with Ant. > I'm not sure if that will work or not - I'll write a prototype after > ApacheCon.

I would gladly volunteer to write this and have it ready for us to discuss at ApacheCon - if I felt that I understood the desired semantics better. - Sam Ruby
