Acutally I want my layout and structure to be exactly the same as my
Contacts index page, except that I want to remove the "New Contact"
link and replace "Contacts" with "Attendees" in a few places.

So, in app/views/contact/attending.dryml so far I have:

<index-page title="Attendees">
  <collection: replace>
    <table-plus fields="name, street, unit, city, state, zip">
      <controls:/>
    </table-plus>
  </collection:>
</index-page>

This gives me almost what I need, the page title has been replaced,
but I still have a heading of "Contacts" and the term "contacts" in
the count, along with the new contact link.

After reviewing app/views/taglibs/auto/rapid/pages.dryml, I've tried
changing the header, hoping to change the heading "Contacts", but I
keep getting various errors depending on what I've tried.
