I have to modify the case I listed above. Actually if the macrodef part is
defined in the same file as the script part, it works. 

It doesn't work if I add namespace here:
<project name= "test" xmlns:my="my:/my.com">
<target name= "test"> 
<script language= "..."><![CDATA[ 
newTask = project.createTask("my:my-macro"); 
newTask.setDynamicAttribute( "host", "bingo"); 
newTask.execute(); 
]] ></script> 
</target> 
</project>

"my-macro" is defined in another file, say, lib.xml and use:
<typedef file="lib.xml" uri="my:/my.com"/>

Any hint?
