That would be the addText(String) method, no DynamicFoo involved at
all, if you really were talking about nested text.

which makes it nested elements, and not nested text at all.

Ant's CVS HEAD contains a class[1] that captures arbitrary XML
structures, add a child element to your task via

public void addChild(XMLFragment frag) {
    ...
}

and the you can use 

<mytask>
  <child>
    ... arbitrary XML goes here ...
  </child>
</mytask>

and then serialize the DocumentFragment held by XMLFragement into a
String.
