Could "normal" mode be a "zoom" mode? Then you'd have only one set
of linearly related modes to understand. You could zoom in and out:
body (e.g. normal)
body + headers
page width
full page
two page
etc...

I agree that automatic mode switching is likely to make the header
situation better, but be more confusing overall.
