The duplication is to handle loading and assembling the changes from the
text:p inside all the buckets for the old versions. 

Page 9 of the ECT proposal shows how "normal" text:p would have calls
out to change tracking to describe style changes inline, however page 17
uses en masse retiring & versioning of text:p objects each time a
draw:frame is changed. Thus to load each text:p instance (page 9 vs
inside bucket on page 17) the code itself would have to be quite
different. And again, to generate these serializations, one would need
quite different code.
