In this case, I would rather keep inline nodes as-is. Inline nodes cannot be from a different source to their parent block-level node, as the "include" directive is a block-level syntax construct without inline alternative.
Source/line info can be easily retrieved from <inline_node_instance>.parent  (or .parent.parent... in case we get nested inline some day). See the definition of the `nodes.Node.document` property for a simple way to do this.

The source and line attributes of Node elements are not set for all types of elements. For example, these attributes never get set on bulleted or enumerated list nodes. Other elements (such as literal block) don't have source set depending on the context.
