Another non committer here.
I don't like $(x) because it looks too much like ${x}, although I
suppose I could get used to that.  Therfore, I am drawn to
@{x}.  ${attribute:x} is possible but way too much typing for my taste.
Abbreviated to ${att:x} or ${attrib:x} my negativity level goes down
accordingly.

Before "voting", though, could someone list all the conflicting usages
with other systems that ant must interface with.

Subject: Re: [VOTE] macrodef - do attributes as properties or
substitutions


OK, how do we want to implement <macrodef> attributes:
                                  current
 [ ] as textual substitution    ~ 4
 [ ] as "real" Ant properties   ~ 2

undecided                       ~ 1

If macrodef attribute are to be implements as substitutions, what should
be the notation? (where x is the attribute name)

 [ ] as ${x} (look like ant properties)
 [ ] as $(x) 
 [ ] as @x
 [ ] as ${attribute:x}
 [ ] as @{x}
 [ ] some thing else
