So am I, regarding things being implemented properly. The best thing would probably be to index the xxpc "junks", as you call it, instead of adding the palette to every keyframe, which would otherwise be needed. Also, to have the demuxer use the right logic to set the correct palette at a certain timestamp based on the xxpc indices.
