We no longer blindly copy all directive metadata to child.meta. However, this means we need to explicitly set any relevant attributes on the child from the directive during run (or the only way they will be accessible downstream is by traversing back up the tree to the child's parent).
There is something to be said for blindly copying meta - that way markdown-it-docutils doesn't need to decide what is important, it just passes along everything. But it's also nice to be a bit more explicit about what is available on the child.
