Hello, you got it. It is only difference.
Reasoning: There are scenarios where you have to test, whether some element/attribute is present in the xml. Its _not_ an error, if such element/attribute is missing. Since xmlpeek task report it via exception, and even with failonerror set it is considered error, blaming nant users with false errors. I'm open to any changes/expansions to this. Maybe defaultValue="whatever" is better? (and use this value if no match found?)
