IMN subscribers *do* have access to the full news feed.  IMN isn't going
to replace the existing hierarchy, they will be creating a new set of
"newsgroups" called imn.* or something (at least as Geoff's described it
so far).  As long as your news software can look things up by message-id,
you should be able to follow references to your hearts content.  In fact,
I can quite easily imagine sites getting both IMN groups and the "raw"
equivalents, for this exact reason.
