formatFileSet/directory vs. validationFileSet/dir inconsistency

<formatFileSet> has (like project/build/resources/resource) a directory property, whereas <validationSet> and <transformationSet> have a dir (and in the latter case: outputDir property). This is rather inconsistent.
It would be nice if the definitions of the various *Sets used by the xml-maven-plugin were a bit more consistent.

You are right about the inconsistency. That being said: Do you see a
possibility to fix this in a manner, which is upwards compatible?
Because incompatibilities are the bigger problem, compared to
inconsistencies.
