Well I could, but I've now reset my ClaraHD back to using my standard patches. However, as this was one of the tests I already did, I can tell you what the results were. I see you're using a GloHD so I would expect the same visual appearance as my ClaraHD.

With no header or footer patches enabled this is what you'd get (from my previous post)

Footer: By default, with Reading settings Show Footer OFF, minimum footer is 4mm for epub/kepub.

Header: The minimum I could achieve was 3.5mm for both epub/kepub if I set Show Title to OFF in Reading settings.
As I previously mentioned, I used GeoffR's specially designed Margin Test epub to get these figures. If I were to use one of my 'real' books, the perceived footer height would vary depending on settings used for font-size, line spacing. The footer is going to look bigger than 4mm if the last line of text won't quite fit. This is exacerbated in my own books because I always have a non-zero inter-paragraph setting (margin-top:0.25em for standard body paragraphs). This means that the number of lines which will fit on a page varies wildly depending on how many complete paragraphs there are on that page.

If you want to take it further, provide a test epub and tell me exactly what settings to use for font-family (stick to built-in fonts), font-size, line spacing, left/right margin. I could then post a screencap using a completely unpatched ClaraHD.
