Shouldn't that be "unknown task diagnostics *do* not use either spelling"?
Aw, sorry - couldn't resist :)

We had the discussion once about spelled/spelt IIRC.
Ant is one of the very few open source projects I know where the
number of US committers is vastly outnumbered by people coming from
other countries.  AFAIU Australians are closer to British spelling and
the French/Dutch/German[1] among us will probably have learnt British
spelling in school (as if I'd recall what I've learnt there).

[1] if I've omitted somebody's home, I apologize - I just now realized
that I don't know the origins of all committers.

AFAIK we have no strictly rule about that.
I would use "customize" - but I also would understand the other :-)

Mmmh ... there was a thread about that ...
