An <example> element is not considered by us to be a "task section".

For us, it's a general purpose "display object" like figure or table. That's why you'll find its default title a little below in <ditac_install_dir>/xsl/common/messages/en.xml[*]:

---
  ...
  <!-- Formal objects -->
  <message name="figure">Figure</message>
  <message name="table">Table</message>
  <message name="example">Example</message>

  <!-- Note labels -->
  <message name="note">Note</message>
  ...

This being said, if you want to change default title "Example" to something else only when <example> is a descendant of <task>, then you'll have to customize the XSLT stylesheets for that. How to do that is out of the scope of the standard support provided by XMLmind.
