This is entirely historical. It wasn't until last month that Mike Pritchett moved the menu strings into the .strings file. When we move out the strings, tooltips, and XPMs into .strings files, we'll be able to shed some more excess binary weight and clean up quite a bit of code. This should be done post 1.0 Dom
