Actually, I can.  I neglected to mention--it's
documented, though possibly easy to miss, in the
manual:  the built-in resource selectors are not
explicitly defined as types in Ant's "base" namespace.
 The manual says:

Several built-in resource selectors are available in
the internal antlib
org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors:

This means that to use <name> et al, you must qualify
the element with its namespace.  e.g., you might use

  <restrict>
    <union>
      <fileset dir="D:\ant-test\dir1" />
      <fileset dir="C:\TEMP\ant-test\dir2" />
    </union>
    <name name="*.txt"
xmlns="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selctors"
/>
  </restrict>

or, if you use selectors more often (I prefer this
method with all my antlib usage):

<project ...
xmlns:rsel="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors">

  <restrict>
    <union>
      <fileset dir="D:\ant-test\dir1" />
      <fileset dir="C:\TEMP\ant-test\dir2" />
    </union>
    <rsel:name name="*.txt" />
  </restrict>

</project>

HTH,
Matt
