The App_GlobalResource folder is for localizing strings, but in a project I'm working on there are xslts in it. Furthermore, we have a custom localization provider that gets all the strings from the database, so we don't use file based localization and hence don't use the App_GlobalResource folder for localization. I talked to the developer who set it up this way and he said that the App_GlobalResource folder can be used for things other than localized strings. Is he right? Am I missing something here?

EDIT: Whoa! Don't overwhelm me with answers people! To clarify, does it make sense to use the App_GlobalResource folder in an ASP.NET web application to store files, other than *.resx files? For example, MessageTemplate.en.xslt, MessageTemplate.es.xslt, MessageTemplate.fr.xslt. Does ASP.NET actually do anything particular to handle any kind of file with this naming convention when its placed in this folder?
