Specs on external resonator?

What are the specs for the external resonator for the 28X2-3V? The resonators on PICAXE Shop don't have data sheets and I'd rather source them locally. The only thing I can find in the Microchip datasheet is load capacitor values for the crystal, at 27pF. Would this 16Mhz ceramic resonator with 15pF load capacitors work?

In my experience "anything works".

I'm basing that on picking up any random stubby-blobby yellow or blue three-legged resonator and using that without experiencing any problems on a whole range of things.

But I accept that's not in anyway scientific.

I have never used external loading capacitors with ceramic resonators. I'm sure I've read somewhere that they are only needed with crystal resonators.
