My motivation was to make scripted tasks somewhat similar to a real task, as 
would be written in Java, particularly when using Rhino. I thought that would 
make it useful for quickly prototyping a task for later development in Java and 
also to introduce people to task development. 

In addition, the way I implemented <scriptdef> it can support nested elements, 
which are potentially repeated

<scriptedTask>
    <fileset ...>
    <fileset ...>
</scriptedTask>

It is hard to support that capability with simple named parameters.

Thoughts?
