That's the approach I was talking about on my first message, but it's not so simple as downloading a file. You must also manage by yourself resource selection on localized apps, for example. And also resource changes among different app versions.
It is not very difficult, but if there is something yet done and available in the SDK -it's likely not- or as third party library, it may not worth the effort to make something fully new.
