ResxFormatter

Optimizes resx files after saving: Removes schema and comments (in particular the 3KB documentation that is included in every resx file) and sorts entries alphabetically so that they look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <schema />
  <resheader name="resmimetype">
    <value>text/microsoft-resx</value>
  </resheader>
  <resheader name="version">
    <value>2.0</value>
  </resheader>
  <resheader name="reader">
    <value>System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
  </resheader>
  <resheader name="writer">
    <value>System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
  </resheader>
  <data name="a" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>LESS CLUTTER</value>
  </data>
  <data name="b" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>SORTED BY KEYS</value>
  </data>
</root>
