actually it does. However, it involves XML. :-)

After you built your schema, you run the "torque:datadtd" task. This will
create a simple DTD for your schema. According to this DTD; you can then
create an XML file which contains your data. This can be loaded into the
database by running the torque:datasql task.

An example:

On Turbine, we have turbine-security-schema which contains the
following table:

--- cut ---
  <table name="TURBINE_USER" idMethod="idbroker">
    <column name="USER_ID" required="true" primaryKey="true" type="INTEGER"/>
    <column name="LOGIN_NAME" required="true" size="64" type="VARCHAR" javaName="UserName"/>
    <column name="PASSWORD_VALUE" required="true" size="16" type="VARCHAR" javaName="Password"/>
    <column name="FIRST_NAME" required="true" size="64" type="VARCHAR"/>
    <column name="LAST_NAME" required="true" size="64" type="VARCHAR"/>
    <column name="EMAIL" size="64" type="VARCHAR"/>
    <column name="CONFIRM_VALUE" size="16" type="VARCHAR" javaName="Confirmed"/>
    <column name="MODIFIED" type="TIMESTAMP" size="0"/>
    <column name="CREATED" type="TIMESTAMP" size="0" javaName="CreateDate"/>
    <column name="LAST_LOGIN" type="TIMESTAMP" size="0"/>
    <column name="OBJECTDATA" type="VARBINARY"/>
    <unique>
        <unique-column name="LOGIN_NAME"/>
    </unique>
  </table>
--- cut ---

running torque:datadtd creates turbine-security-data.dtd

<!ELEMENT dataset (
    TurbineUser|
[...]
)*>
<!ATTLIST dataset
    name CDATA #REQUIRED
>

<!ELEMENT TurbineUser EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST TurbineUser
    UserId CDATA #REQUIRED
    UserName CDATA #REQUIRED
    Password CDATA #REQUIRED
    FirstName CDATA #REQUIRED
    LastName CDATA #REQUIRED
    Email CDATA #IMPLIED
    Confirmed CDATA #IMPLIED
    Modified CDATA #IMPLIED
    CreateDate CDATA #IMPLIED
    LastLogin CDATA #IMPLIED
    Objectdata CDATA #IMPLIED
>

[...]

--- cut ---

According to this DTD, you can now create turbine-security-data.xml

--- cut ---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE dataset SYSTEM "file://turbine-security-data.dtd">
[...]

<dataset name="all">

  <TurbineUser UserId="1"
               UserName="admin"
               Password="password"
               FirstName=""
               LastName="Admin"/>

  <TurbineUser UserId="2"
               UserName="user"
               Password="password"
               FirstName=""
               LastName="User"/>

[...]

--- cut ---

this turbine-security-data.xml file will create a data SQL file when you 
run the torque:datasql and it will be inserted on torque:insert-sql.

I do use this with great success in a number of projects (I do load a country
table with defaults BTW. ;-) )
