I think, it could be worth addition to NAnt's core. Even
that we could not deprecate xmlpeek task, becouse of XML namespace support. Or
we have to find some way how to pass namespace map into functions (new
datatype?).

Sorry about that.

I put this into a file called xmlfunctions.incbuild which I <include> into my main project build scripts. You can use the functions as normal like this:
<property name="my-xml-value" value="xml::get-value(filepath, xpath)"/>

I'm at home at the mo, but when I get to work, I'll post the code for it. Nothing clever, really, just darn useful.
