Oh waitaminute. I think I see where the confusion is. I'm not suggesting
that the header text from the included file be inserted into the including
file. What I mean to say is that during processing of the files, when the
including file resides in memory, it would use headers in the included file
that are not already defined in the including file. The text in the file
would remain the same.
Some headers wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, such as Revision and
Subject. However, some -- such as Content-Language and Locations -- would
make wonderful use of Include.

Ooooooohhhhhh. :-, I thought it was some evil Emacs keystroke. :-P
I personally like the idea of keyboards capable of handling characters one
would find in most European languages, over the idea of the "standard"
American 102-key keyboard. Alas.
