Nah, you already said you'd prefer to use namespaces for attributes. We could do the same for elements as well, no problems here IMHO. >>> It would be better if there was a consistent doccing >>> standard. >> >>Agreed - I just don't think we should use XML comments for that. > > Partially agree - I think it should be namespaced elements - but > thats not viable for ant1.x. Oops, you say it yourself 8-) Why would that not be viable in Ant1.4? We've switched to jaxp 1.1 already, so we could rewrite ProjectHelper to become namespace aware and ignore everything that's not in the default namespace for a starter - maybe hardcode a doc: namespace as a preview of a future "documentation aspect".
