It emits navigation buttons.  It is actually called in _convert_heading_command
at the top of the page, which is why WORDS_IN_PAGE is ignored, but that
could be changed with some more complicated logic.

I must be missing something, as I can't see how it could work to output
the footer at the top of the page?

My patch *generates* the text of the footer while processing the top of the page
(in _convert_heading_command).  It then uses register_opened_section_level to
stash that generated text in the pending_closes stack.  That saved text then 
gets
printed at the bottom of the page.

It works, but if you want to conditionalize whether the footer is printed
depending on WORDS_IN_PAGE you have to do something more complicated.
