Generally headers and footers are never added to an XML document. The XML document, which is in principle pure data, is transformed to ``a printable form'' which has the concept of page, page header, page footer, etc. The standard ``printable form'' is called XSL-FO. See http://lupo.pixware.fr/reference/w3c/REC-xsl/Overview.html The transformation (an XSLT ``style sheet'' -- see http://lupo.pixware.fr/reference/w3c/REC-xslt.html) which converts an XML document to XSL-FO can be parametrized to generate sophisticated page headers and page footers. DocBook example: see http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html and see http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/ I'm sorry if this is a bit complicated (hum, more than a bit, in fact) but the whole idea about XML is to separate content from presentation.
