This seems like a pretty clear improvement in the interface, at least for novice users, and as you say it can be deactivated for more experienced people. As a proof of concept it looks pretty great. I would say if this were going live, make the defaults be to not show the header or footer, and only have this active in the mainspace. As people are experienced more they could turn on the full editing view in their preferences.
I haven't looked to see how it works, but if the header/footer are going to be hidden by default, it needs to be very easy to work out how to view them - having parts of the page that you can't easily edit would be a very bad thing.
