You can include a rule, but not if you want anything else in the header or
footer.  The problem is that headers and footers only allow inline objects,
but for a rule to coexist with other stuff, it needs to be displayed.

You can sort of make it work by doing illegal things with paragraphs in the
header or footer, but the results are unpredictable and not guaranteed to
work and are not legal DSSSL.

Cheers,
