If you really care about it provide a patch which randomizes the content of those but keep the structure, it will still test the parser as it should and I think it would avoid the problem of redistributing the content. I doubt one can consider reusing a document structure to be a content copyright infrigement. I take patches :-), it will of course also affect the structure.
