The only issue would be if you use DreamWeaver templates.  If a user accidentally edits a template tag inside the DreamWeaver-generated HTML you give them, and you are then asked to redo something -- ew!  

On the other hand, I'm a strong believer in templates and/or ssi and/or CGI-includes to create consistent pages throughout a site, especially if there is going to be an end-user maintaining them down the road.  So, if you decide to not use DW templates, which you should not use because the end-user won't be using DW, I think you might think about creating headers/footers using some server-side capability.
