What about literally adding '${taskname.attributename}' as a valid value
for all attributes? This solves 80% of the problem with 20% of the effort.
I.e. in the ATTLIST for javac:

Certainly. But it makes it difficult to use the validator
when there's always a bunch of error messages that aren't
really errors.
I'm not a DTD expert... can you do something like this:
<!ATTLIST javac
debug %boolean | "${javac.debug}"; #IMPLIED
etc.>
(the above does not work directly, I don't know how to
escape dollar signs and curly braces in DTDs)

psgml-mode, like you. I also think I know the DTD well enough
but am always stumbling. You need to set up a catalog and add
the DTD decl to the top of your ant build files to get emacs to
start doing work for you. The IBM article
I mentioned earlier describes how to do this.
