This is getting way too technical. Let's focus on the way end users see this.
OOo is a WYSIWIG word processor. When people use WYSIWIG word processors they
focus on "what they see". Human intuition is based on what we see. So when an
end user sees 2 documents that look exactly the same he expects them to behave
the same way. Where an image is anchored is not part of what you see. It's a
technical detail most end users probably do not even understand completely
(especially if they come from MS Word where things work differently).

So I'm saying that when you have document A where everything is anchored to
paragraph and document B where everything is anchored to page, and both
documents look the same, then end users will expect the same behaviour when they
insert them into document C. And the behaviour they expect is the behaviour that
corresponds to "the real world", i.e. taking a printout of one document and
inserting the stack of paper into the other stack of paper at the proper 
position.

The most important aspect of this is that the relative order of things (text,
pictures,...) needs to stay the same when inserting. When I see a picture after
a paragraph of text in the original document, I expect to see the picture after
the paragraph of text in the merged document.
