Some information: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/textual.html
This notation has been introduced in Ivy 2.0 to help reference things more easily, both in mailing lists and console. I also use it in javarepo, making powerful queries very easy (see http://javarepo.xoocode.org/about "Searching Hints" for details if you are interested). You can also look in the ivy dev or ant dev mail archive for details about how we decided upon the convention.
