How about merging these into the *.txt files?

My primary reason is to reduce disk seeks.
Because filesystems typically store data
in 4 kB blocks, this will save space too.

For the Windows users, a *.txt file can be
edited. A *.dat file would not be associated
with a text editor.

Web servers often assign MIME type by filename.
The *.dat files are likely to be unviewable,
and at least Firefox is cruel about not letting
one view a file as text if the MIME type is wrong.
