Parent Data Sources #38

It would be nice if the name/handle of the parent Data Source was available in the XML (not just the source section).

What's the use case? I could output the nodes of the datasources executed fairly easily, but I imagine what would be more useful is knowing what datasource caused the entry to be in the output... which is another story altogether. Because Union Datasource combines multiple datasource queries and hits the server with just one SQL query, I'm unable to determine why the entry was returned.

I have two sections with three data sources on a site:

section articles: DS articles
section services: DS twitter
section services: DS facebook

This distinction is not neccesary of course but we use the Twitter and Facebook data sources in other contexts as well so it just happends that I united two data sources from the same section.

If this feature cannot be added easily (that's how it sounds), scratch this idea.
