So what you're telling me as a web browser implementor is that I should just make my UA's print header/footer settings be !important rules in the user stylesheet? That effectively means completely removing all support for header/footers as far as web page authors are concerned. While I'm personally OK with that, perhaps, I do think that fantasai's use cases have merit. Your proposal would in fact prevent them from being usable on the web. While I appreciate your desire to use CSS in your non-web software, I think web requirements should take precedence. In particular, perhaps we should think about a way for the user's and the page's header/footer settings to interact that is somewhat more reasonable than just "one or the other has full control, and whichever one doesn't has no say in it at all". -Boris
