I suggest to add a sentence after this

5.6 PAGE HEADERS AND FOOTERS
        ==> 5.6.5 Managing Headers/Footers
                ==> HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS
----snip----
Unlike the macros, HEADERS and FOOTERS, HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS requires that you 
supply the
information you want in the headers and footers yourself. Mom does no automatic 
generation of
things like the title and the author in headers and footers when you're using 
HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS.
Furthermore, style changes — family, font, pointsize, colour, capitalization, 
etc — are entirely
your responsibility and must be made with inline escapes in the arguments 
passed to "<recto header
string>", "<recto footer string>", etc. By default, mom sets the headers and 
footers created with
HEADERS_AND_FOOTERS in the same family, font, point size, capitalization style 
and colour as
running text.

Here i would add somethin like:

"Note that you have to respect mom's special invokation of Point Sizes while
in Document Processing." 

and have a link pointing to the mentioned NOTE CONCERNING DOCUMENT PROCESSING in

                Inline escapes
                =>Inlines index
                   =>Mom's personal inlines
                        =>Changing point size

Thanks for these Hints!
Yet i still havn't gotten it right.

The following setup seems to wipe out all Headers and Footers.
why?
