Depending on the nature of your header, you could include it all in
one image, and use:
<IMG SRC=/header.gif ALT="Turn on images to see the header">
Truly horrible.
I agree; the markup is truly horrible. In a civilized country, with enforced
accessibility laws, the author should get sued and punished.
By the way, the "innocent" omission of quotation marks from the SRC
attribute value makes validators very "confused" and makes them throw quite
bizarre error messages at you (Google for "the saga of slashed validators"
if you need to know more).
The lack of embedding is (IMO) the most glaring
omission from the original HTML specifications.
They thought that inclusion isn't really an HTML matter, and there's a point
in such thinking. But later "they" added frames, which allow inclusion, and
we all know where _that_ took "us" (well, just the misled authors).
Inclusion as a hypertext feature, even as a special case of a more general
concept like "transclusi on", might be a good idea - if someone ever bothered
to _design_ and define it properly (and browsers implemented it). But to
return to our current universe, inclusion should almost always be handled
using tools outside HTML, such as authoring tools, preprocessors, or perhaps
as server-side includes (SSI and relatives).
