We might have one more option : add an <embeddedresources> element, which
supports a nested fileset and a nested array of <resource> element, meaning
something like this :
<csc>
<embeddedresources>
<files basedir="..."> (not sure about the <files> name though)
<include name="..." />
<include name="..." />
</files>
<resource file=".." name=" " /> (files name would be relative to
project base directory)
<resource file=".." name=" " />
</embeddedresources>
</csc>
I do think its less confusing, but it is ofcourse (a lot) more verbose ...
Not sure I really like it myself ...
What will we do with the accessibility modifier that can be specified for
resources files in .NET 2.0 ? Should we add a "accessibility" (any better
name for this ?) attribute to the (Resource/ResX/Whatever)FileSet (we can't
have one on the individual include elements, that's for sure) and to the
<resource> element ? Guess so, right ?

I'd like to hear you opinion on <embeddedresources> element first (although
I know what you'll be saying, and I can't say I don't agree), but if we
still to the "old" plan then we could just rename the current
ResourceFileSet to ResXFileSet (although it handles more than just resx
files) and use that for the compiler tasks, and add a new ResourceFileSet
for the al task, right ?

Its not easier at all, so I really have no clue ...

Yes, definitely.
