I thought this was already the case, but you're right — it's not, I just  
checked. Right now, there is a viewlet manager showing a footer viewlet,  
but the footer isn't actually inside of it. I'd consider this a bug, not a  
new feature. :)

Related, I'm also rethinking how to do the document actions to make sure  
it's possible to have a product that works and looks right on both 2.5 and  
3.0. At the moment, you will get duplication and/or the new document  
actions in the wrong location, depending on how you look at it.
