Obviously other approaches are possible. The .dat files are licensed under the MIT license so (IANAL) I would expect mechanical translations to other formats to be under the same license. If people are submitting new tests for the parser, I would expect them to add the tests to the html5lib files and then regenerate the W3C copy.
