The way in which property values are used can at times be very unintuitive

           Summary: The way in which property values are used can at times
                    be very unintuitive
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks

- property values can be true, false or NOT SET, also a property can be set 
only once and is then like a constant.
- the waitfor/condition tasks set a property to true or leave it unset.

Now, if I wanted to test whether a socket is active and report this, I would 
like to do it like this:

<target name="socketcheck" depends="">
    <condition property="socket.server1.3302">
        <socket server="1.1.1.1" port="3302"/>
    </condition>
</target>
<target name="all" depends="socketcheck">
    <echo>
        Port 3302 on Server 1 available : ${socket.server1.3302}
    </echo>
</target>

However, the first issue is that within the <condition> task, it is
