I really like the simplicity of your approach - as my own first
build files all followed a linear pattern that could have been
expressed without any targets. I feel my opposition against tasks on
the same level as targets fade a little.
So the case where there are no targets at all is easy to understand
and describe.
Given
<project default="a" ...>
<task1 />
<target name="a">
<task2 />
</target>
<task3 />
</project>
would the user expect task3 to be executed before task2 - as it would
be if I understood the idea of tasks outside of targets correctly?
