Note, GCPM and css paged media together give you a way to put text into a running header or footer area (and also the sides - running arms?). Web browsers don't support this today as far as I know, although programs like Antenna House Formatter, YesLogic PrinceXML and the opensource weasyprint do. You still typically end up needing to insert extra elements in the documents, but only one per section with the text of the running header/footer in it, and only if it contains markup, as otherwise it can come from CSS.
