I'm open to hosting it in the same repository; the only issue that I see is that 
people may conflate the two parts and be put off downloading html5lib because 
they think it is a liberal XML parser or xhtml5lib because they think it is a 
html-only project.

Assuming the patches needed don't cause severe regressions in the code 
readability or performance of html5lib I think the existing tokenizer would be 
the right place to apply them.
