If the modules don't have too many complex interdependencies, and based on your comment (IIRC) in another message that ultimately Unicode renders 2 out of the 3 obsolete, my personal opinion is that 3 separate tarballs would be more flexible. However, I've not really thought much about counter arguments, apart from convenience of getting 1 tarball (versus inconvenience of upgrading 1 tarball every time any part of one of the three changes) and the possible interdependency of all 3 modules.
