Anything can be an embedded resource. Add the XML document to your project, right-click and select Properties. In the PropertyGrid, change the Build Action to Embedded Resource. Use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to pull it out. The root namespace of the project (in the project settings) plus any folders in which an emedded resource is located comprise it's "namespace" (as well as the default namespace for source files, though you can override this after the file is created).
