I know that if I attach an enchantment to an opponent's permanent, the enchantment is still under my control. But what about auras like Squirrel Nest or Presence of Gond? When my opponent taps the enchanted permanent, doesn't the generated 1/1 creature come onto the battlefield under his/her control-- since the power to create a 1/1 is being given to his/her enchanted land or creature?

Indeed, it is your opponent who gets to create tokens under their control in those cases, because the activated ability within quotation marks is granted to their permanent.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
Great. I'm thinking of using this as a pillowfort strategy in Commander, in conjunction with Borrowing 100,000 Arrows. So long as I have the ability to give my opponent's creatures -1/-1 anytime I want, I don't have to worry about being attacked by them. They'll be used to attack other players.
