Good example. To do letterheads properly, we'll need to implement both of
the following post-1.0 features:
- allow tables in headers/footers
- implement "first page special" for distinct header/footers
I still haven't heard a good use case for columns there, though.
While some of the formatting abstractions may be similar, the following
assertion still holds:
"columns != tables"
