I always thought NAnt is XML-based solution and follows XML
specification. It seems I was wrong. But you have to know
going this way (consuming every garbage and "non-XML XMLs")
isn't an easy way and NAnt may become inconsistent and not stable
working software. XML is a standard and IMHO is specified to be
followed.

Please take a note of that I'm not a NAnt develper and all those
are my personal opinions.

Best regards
