BTW the "mouse over popup thing" is dead in master and probably about to
be dead in 3.6 too (see my previous mail on that topic here and on the
qa list).

Creating a temporary header/footer isn't a good thing to do as it
implies relayouting the whole document, and checking all possible
shortcuts to eventually drop it (e.g. we should probably drop it if the
mouse clicks somewhere else or if the cursor is moved to outside the
header/footer)
