Depends on how big the rarely-changing data is. (And on how many of these docs 
there are.)

It's not that bad. You can add a property to one doc that contains the other 
doc's ID, then declare two CBLModel classes, and declare that linking property 
as a pointer to the other class. The one are where it will limit what you can 
do, is that it makes it more difficult to create queries on both sides of the 
data at once.

Another option is to make the rarely-changing data an attachment (probably of 
type application/json.) The replicator has an optimization that allows it to 
skip sending attachments that haven't changed, even if the doc itself has 
changed.
