A Modest proposal: a HeaderFactory?

[Benson Margulies]

 I was a little bit taken aback to discover that I needed to create an
entire data binding object just to get a string into a header. Is this a
common enough use case to deserve something friendlier. I definitely want to
fix up the javadoc for the two-arg overload. It takes 'Object' but only
accepts DOM elements? At least, when I passed it a string it complained that
it wanted a DOM element.
