Yes (see attached file).  I had to move the markup outside the
'finalize method though, since it wouldn't evaluate it directly.

It's probably a horrible kludge, but simply changing the current
module to the header inside 'finalize allows you to set any properties
directly (since it isn't an output-def, you can't use the usual
functions here).  I cached the old module just in case, though it
didn't have any effect if it wasn't restored.
