Difference between browser:resourceDirectory and plone:static

Is there any major difference between declaring static resource in ZCML through browser:resourceDirectory vs. plone:static?

Use plone:static instead of browser:resourceDirectory for resources

Using plone:static instead of browser:resourceDirectory would allow overwriting …the resources through the web. ``` xml <plone:static name="{{{ package.dottedname }}}" type="plone" directory="static" /> ``` instead of ``` xml <browser:resourceDirectory name="{{{ package.dottedname }}}" directory="static" /> ``` Are there any drawbacks?

Because I saw it last week in a project we're working on at the moment that needs resource cache busting:

besides other things plone:static can do as mentioned in the link @yurj posted (like shadowing a FS resources under/in portal_resources in the ZODB),
plone:static also supports ++unique++timestamp sections on the path for cache busting.
