Terminology of 'subtargets' for project help options is confusing

           Summary: Terminology of 'subtargets' for project help options is
                    confusing
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The ant commmand line options documentation refers to the -projecthelp options
as displaying 'Main targets' and then 'Sub targets' when it really means
documented targets and undocumented targets. The term 'sub-target' is used 
informally in defining dependencies between targets, which is confusing.

I understand that the purpose of 'projecthelp' is to give information about the
primary targets of the build file, and it assumes that these are the ones with
a documentation associated with it, but I think the use of the term 
'sub-targets'
is potentially ambiguous. IMHO it should be changed to something other, such as 
'Secondary targets' or 'Undocumented targets'.
