--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> ---
Without digging too deep into the history of XML formatted test result output:
neither Ant's <junit> task nor AntUnit have ever published a schema or DTD
their reports would adhere to. The schema you link is the schema for Maven's
Surefire plugin.

I believe Surefire like AntUnit have used Ant's JUnit XML output as a starting
point and both have extended it in different directions. For AntUnit the only
goal has been to allow the <junitreport> task to work - which seems to be the
case. There are some deviations from Ant's <junit> output and they have been
deliberate back when AntUnit's XML output has been created. Along the lines of
"how would the <junit> task output look if we were able to tweak it a bit based
on what we've learned since then".

AntUnit's output is what it is and it has been like this for about fifteen
years (which may or may not predate the XML schema you linked). We cannot
simply change it without breaking things that use the existing format.

Therefore I'll have to close this as WONTFIX, sorry.
