I really disagree. Everytime we leave this special cases around we keep bugs around and inconsistencies. Just today (or yesterday) came a bug fix about datatypes being treated diferently than tasks. We have been having this porblems and inconsistencies for I do not know how many releases and we still continue with them. Do you remember how many releases until <typedef> got the same rights as <taskdef> of being at top level? We need symetry and regularity in the way things work. This is probably the more important contribution that we can have at this time. And by the way, no one has dear to mention how to solve the mistype of datatypes and TaskContainers. And the way they get in by accident. At least my approach produced a consistent solution.
