Actually the more I think about this, the more that I'm okay that
information that is meaningless to Ant or a task gets dropped on the floor
but is preserved for other tools to use.
This keeps in with the principle that we use XML as a data vehicle, but
aren't subject to all of its rules. For example, no DTD can be written for
all of Ant+Optional tasks. A DTD could be made for core tasks, but Ant
doesn't use it.
