I wasn't suggesting that, but upon reflection I'm realizing that the
fallback header is a different animal from the sitewide header, and it
should indeed be affected by (:nogroupheader:).

I hadn't even considered a fallback / default header until this came
up.  Now I'm starting to understand how it could add some useful
capability.
