It seems like there should be something more obvious that could be done
for these elements. For <header> and <footer> a border below and above,
respectivly, would seem obvious.

That would be simple enough, I guess; what do other people think?

I think many authors hate default styles so much that they either prefer to just use 
<div> or they start their style sheet with resetting the defaults.

Since <header> is intended to be useful to make subheaders not appear in the 
ToC, the move from

  <h1>Foo</h1>
  <h2>Bar</h2>

to

  <header>
   <h1>Foo</h1>
   <h2>Bar</h2>
  </header>

shouldn't, IMHO, result in ugly borders that everyone has to nuke (compare with 
<img border=0>).
