Currently the main text of a page is processed before any output
takes place, but sidebar and other items are processed at the point
that a template is being output.  As a result, by the time sidebars
and other items are being processed it's too late to add things to
the headers.

I don't have a good feel for when this might be changed, if ever.
I don't know that we can safely change this behavior in the core,
as I think it's very likely that there are some sites that depend
on the current behavior.  I might be able to create a configuration
switch for it, however.
