I have been using Site.PageHeader and Site.PageFooter
in Gemini, FixFlow and Triad skins to define the top- and bottommost
parts of the layout.

GroupHeader is in a way already a misnomer, as it defines the
top-of-content part: content which goes on top/before page content.
GroupFooter likewise.
ContentTop and ContentBottom would be more accurate.
But with these names firmly in use I think Site.AllGroupHeader
is quite useful, as it applies to all groups (and all
pages). Especially if it is turned off on a page with
(:nogroupheader:)

Perhaps an additional proposal:
Site.SiteHeader may be used as an alternative for GroupHeader:
if there is no GroupHeader page in a group, and there is
a Site.SiteHeader page, then that page gets used. If there is a
GroupHeader page, SiteHeader will not be used. Similar to
Group.SideBar and Site.SideBar.
