:-) Oh, it's always a problem when two non-native-English speakers try to
express themselves to each other ;-) so I'm also sorry for being stupid there.
What I wanted to express is that I didn't understand your position: slightly
simplifying, your words "it does not look FUNNY" seemed somewhat defending
those who want to change the status quo, while "I would NOT judge it to be
"LOGICAL"" seemed to be against that request. So I wanted to understand what
your actual position was.
Wrt the last part: I believe that the discussion here is mainly about the
initial act of inserting headers/footers, as opposed to later modification of
its contents (and subsequent change of page body space). These two, being of
course connected, are not necessarily have the same psychological expectations.
E.g., user could expect page body height to remain unchanged when inserting a
default (=1-line) header, when margins are quite large; but it's not true that
users would (have reasons to) expect page body to remain intact when they
expand header arbitrarily, possibly exceeding remaining margin height.
I don't want to say that fixing one aspect of multiple possible issues here is
a universally satisfying solution; just that it would cover the most prominent
source of misunderstanding. Here I don't tell about changing ODF or something,
just about creating a UI to allow the one-time insertion operation to
optionally simultaneously decrease margins to keep page body size.
Some people here even keep thinking that they are talking about "conformance to
standards", without understanding that there's no universal standards here, and
e.g. current implementation strictly conforms to ISO ODF standard, which was by
the way created with Microsoft participation in the OASIS committee :-).
