I would recommend using namespaces. (If the build.xml does not now use a namespace, it would be a very good Idea to add it.)
<project xmlns="http://www.apache.org/schema/Ant"; xmlns:doc="http://www.apache.org/schema/AntDoc"; default="package" basedir="."> <target name="init"> <doc:descr>some description goes here</doc:descr> <tstamp/> ... </target> ... The Ant parser would simply ignore any tags not in its own namespace. If you do this with namespaces, then ANY XML language (eg. XLink, RDF) could be embedded within the build files.
