Ick. I admire your courage, but that sounds obnoxious.
To reiterate, the following features should be considered experimental at
best, or perhaps just plain broken:
- page numbers
- headers and footers
Yes, there is a fair amount of code there to try and make these features

folks willing to spend the time to finish these features so that they Just
Work.
