I've (again) taken some liberty in moving some -1s for the last two
items to [ACCEPTED AS GUIDELINE]:
During discussion it became obvious, that some things from this list
are goals for Ant and some should be guidelines for developers,
therefore there are two flavors, [ACCEPTED] and [ACCEPTED AS GUIDELINE].
Feel free to flame me 8-)

The [ACCEPTED] items
============================================================================
* Provide a clear mission statement for Ant.
* Main goals: Simplicity, Understandability, Extensibility
* remove magic properties if at all humanly possible
* remove as much dependency on native scripts as possible.
* clean object model (ie Project/Target/Task)
* good event model to integrate well with IDE/GUI/whatever
* use a consistent naming scheme for attributes across all tasks
* keep build file syntax as compatible to Ant1 as possible -
i.e. don't break something just because we can.
* keep the interface for Tasks as similar to the one of Ant1 as
possible - i.e. don't break something just because we can.
* Ant should be cancelable
The [ACCEPTED AS GUIDELINE] items
============================================================================
* no commit of new features without documentation
* no commit of new features without testcases
