<task id="sometask" />

The id attribute has the value sometask. You can refer to the
corresponding task object in scripts or other tasks via this name. In
scripts you could do

<script ...>
  sometask.setFoo("bar");
</script>

to set the foo attribute of this particular task instance. In another
task (written in Java) you can access the instance via
project.getReference("sometask").
