Personally, I would have thought that per-page resources would introduce
more problems than they solve. If there is text that needs to be consistent
across pages, it's much better to have it in only one place. Even if keys
are the same across pages, there is no assurance that the text will be. And
when it comes to translation time, all those strings will have to be
translated multiple times - and perhaps not always the same way, especially
with multiple translators working on a large app.
Just my 2 cents...
