However, it's starting to sound to me like the only valid option is to literally copy the text over and update it when the original changes. I had been avoiding that because duplication is evil, but there are several issues surrounding doing is any other way. Without getting into those issues right off hand, what is your opinion of this approach? Is that what you pictured all along?

Well, at _some_ level you have to duplicate it - the only question is what is the best level to do that :) I think it makes perfect sense to do the copying at the level which is smart enough to re-copy when it senses the source change.
