...except that one of the major purposes of headers is to
set up a context that the main page uses (e.g., wikistyles,
default table styling, or even (:linebreaks:)).  Putting
the headers (and to a lesser extent, footers) into separate
contexts somewhat negates one of the major purposes of having
them.
