I think we're on a dangerous path here, where author's settings
could override user defined settings... In our case, have a document
tell the UA to override the header/footer settings specified in the
print dialog. Careful, careful.
In fact, the best option would be to
0. implement @page and the margin boxes rules
1. have browsers implement the print dialog's current 6 margin boxes
through a UA @page and page margin boxes
2. a radio in the print dialog "let the document specify headers
and footers" and another radio "override document headers/footers"
That way all is based on the cascade and the user can always have
all the various settings applied.
