I really see a big advantage in it. Currently I'm working on the 
docheader for 'Page', 'List' and 'Template' modules and also came to the 
conclusion that it would be wise to move this to the top. Not every 
module, or parts of them, offers this, for instance in 'Page' module it 
is only available in QuickEdit. In list module it's only available when 
editing, not when the list is shown.

When it's at the top, users are reminded to close their documents. Right 
  now they are not triggered to do that.

But, till the feature freeze I'm working on the docheaders, so I won't 
be able to work on this as well.

Till this is fixed, it will be put in the docheader only in the same 
module parts as it was.
