+*** text-scale-mode can adjust text height of header line face.
+When the new buffer local variable 'text-scale-mode-header-line' is
+non-nil, 'text-scale-adjust' (bound to 'C-x C-+' and 'C-x C--' by
+default) will also change the text height of the header line face.
+This feature is intended for use by Emacs Lisp package authors.
