I hate to quote everything and then put only a minor thing below, but:
Prefectly correct, this is how it should be, and the only thing I wanted
to point out is that if any problem with this way arises (i.e. put _inlined_
objects into a header/footer), it is not the fault of "core" Jade -
since it works here.

So, go ahead, put graphics in headers...and have fun with it!
