I don't think Kovid said that. He said that it is in the specification, but that no ePUB reader currently supports it.

The closest thing to a working header is ADE's page templates, but that's an Adobe-exclusive extension.

Other than that, adding book-wide information like title and author in some visible place is something that any ebook viewer could do, no need of the ePUB specification to allow it. We only need someone to design a user-friendly, fully-configurable, specs-compliant ePUB reader... so easy
