1. I'd worry that you are effectively defining a new language -a functional one- inside ant.
2. it doesnt have to be ${}; we would be better using a new symbol like x{}, though again, things will break and we will get accused of having the perl attitude to obscure bits of the keyboard.
3. given that my main issue with xpath, is it possible to plug in new axes for resolving references into the xpath engine we'd use.
4. Is there an xpath engine built in to xerces?
I think it is a part of Xalan.
if we could have a new path axis, then we could have references like ant:://myproject/dist ; this would let us resolve using the build file structure, (here a targt called dist in a project called 'myproject') instead of using classic xpath document-centric path resolution.
