Henry Spencer:
We [Geoff and I] are vehemently, nay violently, opposed to ever rewriting
headers in any circumstances whatsoever.  It's soooo easy to do more harm
than good.  We also don't think it's that big a favor to people to help-
fully fix up their misposted articles without any feedback to them.

[FAQ author's note: I would be interested in collaborating with anyone who
has done some work on this problem at the article-injection point. -- Mark]
