I always call the group of elements on the top of the page #header, but I don't interpret it as a "positional" name at all. I believe that the header of a document, whatever it is, groups important information of the same kind. We can find on the header of a document, for example, the name of the company - or person, the main title of the document, important transversal information that helps in reading this document. So now, where - or why - can we put this group of content other than in the beginning of the doc? Why should somebody want to put the company logo at the bottom of the page? The problem here is to understand the role of a document header, imh.

Well, I regularly put parts of what end up as visual header, below everything else in the source-code. Wonder what I should call that "thing" now :-) > I'm calling this the 'standards contradiction syndrome'. :-) Indeed, but quite interesting. Guess I like problems that have no clear solutions. Maybe it'll clear up one day.
