I'll try to provide a more in depth response later (very busy right now) ... but ... right now, you can execute additional logic before you need to specifiy the "default property value" (meaning <property ... overwrite="false" />), you would no longer have this possibility when <params> are in place .... you would no longer be able to execute targets and tasks to determine what the default value of a given property should be ...
