Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. This won't work because the macrodef won't have any knowledge of what to do as per my need. I think,
therefore, my solution of having 2 macrodef elements is as close as I can get:
<mymacrodef>
<if-true>...</if-true>
<if-false>...</if-false>
</mymacrodef>
So, then the question shifts a bit: in a macrodef, assuming that an element has optional="true", is there a way to test whether the
element, in fact, is being used by the caller? This might be useful information to know inside the definition of the macrodef.
Thanks for your response, again!
Enjoy,

No. macrodef can only be used to define tasks, not conditions (which is
what you'd need).
What you can do is what Mike suggests. Use your macrodef to set a
property and then use isset as condition inside your if.
<mymacrodef property="foo"/>
<if>
<isset property="foo"/>
<then>
...
</then>
</if>
