Since nested tasks are proposed for Ant2 (that is
correct, yes?), why not generalize this to a "foreach"
task that run all of its nested tasks for each file,
rather than restricting it to a single task/target?

The same effect could be achieved by using AntCall as
the single arbitrary task, but I think that embedding
the actual tasks themselves may be cleaner in some
cases.
