While the DTD generated by ant structure gives us what we need to perform code
assist on well-known tasks, it is not sufficient for new tasks which may have
been added via a taskdef. In such cases we should be able to use reflection to
correctly identify supported attribute except where the task uses the the
DynamicConfigurator interface (cf.
http://nagoya.apache.org/gump/javadoc/ant/build/javadocs/org/apache/tools/ant/DynamicConfigurator.html).

It might be worthwhile to explore how antstructure generates the DTD:
