It's not a bug, it's the way XML works (without making NAnt jump through

By including this here, XML treats the default namespace as
http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc4/nant.xsd. NAnt is smart enough to
accept this (whatever the actual namespace spec is), and expect that its
elements will be in that namespace.

So, for example, at this point NAnt is actually seeing
"http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc4/nant.xsd":property
as the fully qualified name of the task. (I hope my abuse of the syntax
conveys my intent clearly.)

At this point, NAnt effectively sees:
"":property
as the fully qualified name of the element. In XML terms, this is a
different element name than
"http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc4/nant.xsd":property. It is
appropriate for NAnt to treat only one of these as the real property
task, and the other is some unrecognized element that it should ignore
(since it's not in the namespace for NAnt elements).

Conversely, if you add the xmlns to the <properties> element in
local.xml, it should also work.

This, of course, is another good reason for adding the xmlns to
local.xml. After all, you may as well have Intellisense working for all
of your build files, not just the top level.
