Indeed, can work with it :-)

Some comments:

1. Could it be possible to change from main to header/footer by single 
mouse click, in stead of double. (I know the other program uses double 
click, but looks superfluous to me)

2. Refresh problem when height of header/footer changes.

3. grey-tone does not toggle when changing content with Ctrl-PageUp 
(PageDown for footer), and I can use the cursor here, but not the mouse 
:-)

4. It was new for me to see (but maybe missed it from what you wrote) 
that the line only is visible when the header/footer is activated (by 
double clicking ATM).

Then the visual challenge ;-)
5. For the line: I would advice the same color, or something that is 
close to the text boundaries.
Reason: the line is wider, does change width with zooming, and is 
dashed. I have nothing against the nice blue color, but it's just to 
much as default within the current UI, IMO.

Page break
= = = = =
6. For the hard page break: now it is blue – my advise would be light blue.

7. It is not such a problem that the break is partly covered by the new 
separator, since that only is the case when header/footer is active
Problem with the  page break though: when spacing of the header/footer 
is zero, it is not visible (covered by the inner boundary of the 
header/footer apparently.)

Maybe some of the quirks have been solved already in your dev-code.

So far this non-expert advise ;-)
Maybe Christoph is interested to see some special situations? Pls drop a 
line later this evening, and maybe I (we) can help.

Cheers,
