For a start, the stuff isn't supposed to go into the header/footer, but into the page area, ie, back into the main vertical list either side of the randomly chosen TeX page break, about 1cm above the footer and 1cm below the header, in a position which would normally be occupied by bits of question. I don't think you can do that, as the header and footer have already been locked by the output routine inside a \vbox. Alright, you can have multi-line headers and footers, but then the pages look unsatisfactory as you move from page to page, as some have text in the gaps and some don't. The other thing is, I think it has to be done with \mark, as the particular header/footer would have to know what was at the top/bottom of *this* page, not at the point which TeX had read ahead to.
