I understand that, but if I keep the small publication after copying
the content to the larger one, I have the same UUIDs in both. More
like non-"U" then ;-)
Now there would still be two options: Should the new documents be forks
of the old ones, or references? In either case you'd need new documents
with new UUIDs.
In the first case, you could introduce a "reference"
resource type, just containing e.g. an <inc:include> element.
Of course I meant in the second case (references).

If someone wants to do that, I'd recommend to take a look at the
importer module in the contributions area. I'm sure you can re-use a lot
of the code and just make some minor adjustments (import from a 2.0.x
publication instead of a 1.2.x publication).
