A temporary header/footer after a double click should not change the
layout at all. If the user really decides to enter text, the temporary
header/footer could remain a foreground layer, overlapping and covering
the rest of the document. Changing of the layout would be triggered only
after the user clicks somewhere outside the header/footer, signalling
that a header/footer should be inserted. Without text having been
entered, the header/footer layer would just disappear, as if nothing had
happened.
By "Layout" I mean the whole internal operation that consists in
creating a frame hierarchy from the document nodes. In short, this
operation is performed at every change to refresh the document view and
simply adding a blank header/footer would trigger recomputing all the
pages after it. This is an expensive operation we surely want to avoid.
And there is no such thing as a foreground layer in Writer... (only for
the drawing elements in it).
