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

<condition property="socket.server1.3302">
...                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^
</condition>
<property name="socket.mscdev1.3301" value="false"/>
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Except these should actually be the same (not being nit-picky -- just trying to 
avoid any further confusion).

IOW: The way to conditionally set a default value for a property is to let 
<condition> have a shot at setting it first, then have a <property> that sets 
it to the default value. If the property was in fact set by <condition>, the 
<property> that has the default value will be a no-op, since <property> won't 
set a property that's already set.
