The original global value. > If I need to pass this value, does that mean I need to use > <param> explicitly?

So let at least add > a strong usage description in the docs for <local>. Another reason is that I wanted the local properties to be staticly scoped. However in the implementation this is not really the case in that tasks have access to the properties - see the script example. Yet another reason is that the Ant.java does a *lot* of messing with properties. It is quite possible any modificiation would cause problems to current scripts.
