Indeed, I implemented it.
There is also a variable that determines if headers in table (texi2html)
are used or simple headers (like makeinfo). It is only set if called as
texi2html.

It is not output when simple headers are output.

I kept a big rule for the top element, and between the elements and
the misc elements (footnotes, contents...) when simple headers are not used.

It is now controlled by a variable that is set only when called as
texi2html. I don't like this advertizing footer either, but it is very
usefull to find out manuals generated by texi2html.

I added an invisible unbreakable space.

I removed the underlining, and I italicized the type, such that both
are not in the same 'font'.
