As an alternative you could also have a look at the paper "Detecting 
Phrase-Level Duplication on the World Wide Web" by Dennis Fetterly, Mark 
Manasse, Marc Najork.

I think this case is pretty unlikely. But I am not sure whether you can detect 
near duplicates by only comparing term-document vectors. There might be 
problems with documents with slightly changed words, words that were replaced 
with synonyms...

However, if you want to keep some information on the word order, you might 
consider comparing n-gram document vectors. That is, each dimension in the 
vector does not only represent one word but a sequence of 2, 3, 4, 5... 
words.

Cheers,
