I'm currently working on a set of documents that I have chained together and there are translation units that are exactly the same except for the formatting.

However, it seems that two otherwise identical TUs are stored as two separate TUs, which means that if I make a change to one TU, press Alt-Down/Alt-Up, the other does not get automatically changed and I have to go searching for it and change it separately.
