Really the only thing the refid variant does is call the toString() method on the datatype instance and puts the results in to the property.

Its only handy (currently) on the <path> types to get the full path string. I don't think its useful for any other datatypes.

For your particular goal, I don't think the refid attribute on <property> comes into play.

Here's what I am trying to do: write a generic task that might do
something with a fileset reference but which will not throw errors if
that fileset has not been defined.  If there's another way to do it,
I''m all ears.
