I didn't mean to imply properties wouldn't be mutable by tasks (other
than <property> which explicitly ensures it doesn't override existing
values). Of course they can be altered afterwards but it won't have
much of an effect as long as ${} replacement happens at parse time.
My feeling now is that we will have to go all the way to make the
property expansion step happen at runtime.
