I think it would be sufficient to make header separator lines a subset
of separator lines by allowing a separator line to start with a pipe
and then any of dash|pipe|plus|space|colon.

Additionally, I would define the header separator line as the first
encountered separator line (before a footer separator line, naturally)
and this first separator line can be specially structured to support
aligning columns (i.e. the current syntax for header separator lines is
used for determining column alignments).

Would this be less confusing? Comments/suggestions?
