If I understand your example correctly, it seems like you are assuming that
the :inline: tag should promote a section's contents to the level *above*
the level of the section having the :inline: tag.  To me this behavior
doesn't make sense, and that's also not what I would expect such a tag to do
-- instead, the section's text (anything which comes before the next
headline at any level) should be merged with the text of the nearest
preceding headline.  Then all nested headlines contained in the :inline:
section should be promoted.

It is true that this could sometimes be confusing.  For example:

  * A
  text1
  ** B
  text2
  * C  :inline:
  text3
  ** D
  text 4

would get treated like:

  * A
  text1
  ** B
  text2
  text3
  * D
  text 4

In this case, one would likely omit 'text3' from the first part of the
example, since it doesn't make much sense to have it there.  For the most
part, though, it would be a behavior that makes sense (e.g. if "* C" were
replaced with "** C" in the example).

It may be that "inline" isn't the best word to describe this behavior, which
is why something with "ignore" or "promotechildren" has been mentioned.
