Hi Stephen,

The standard header and footer in the root Folder are reserved
names that can't be deleted mainly because certain parts of 
zope (such as the std error template and the "default" content
of new DTML Documents and Methods) expect them to be available. 

If, say, a Zope newbie were to delete them without knowing what
the consequences were, they would then find that all of their
dtml docs/methods generated with the default content would 
appear broken (and the error message reporting the error would
also probably be broken).
