I realize that I've been missing for most of this year so far - so take my comments with a grain of salt -- but I did want to state for the record that the lack of a DTD was intentional. It allows us to define taskdefs on the fly. If you nail a DTD for all current taskdefs, you can't necessarily add a new one on the fly unless you namespace it, along with it's DTD def, in and that's a way huge pain in the ass if you ask me. .duncan
