One way that could be used is a definite icon difference between the Task and
Type elements. However with Eric's xdocs solution we could easily provide
custom icons. Maybe not for Antidote, but as Nicola brought up a good example
of others who might like to see custom icons. Netbeans may use it with their
UI, and possibly others (Eclipse??). I guess a question that should be brought
up is are we just producing a solution for Antidote or are we trying to build a
frame work for other GUI's to leverage?

IMHO it is, especially since it would clearly identify the task in
question visually.
But there should be a standard "frame" for the type, to distinguish
tasks from targets and typedesf easily. Some work on these kinds of
icons can be seen in the Netbeans UI project www.netbeans.org
Just 2c...
