I've read the UX specifications.
The reference to the page '24' is wrong with the current revision of the document, since the "Header behaviour" section starts from page 27.

An header that is fixed and opaque can not be "transient", i.e. hidden on tap or timeout.

Some solution:
1) Use the default, "scrolling" behaviour
2) Keep the header fixed and opaque (that means that it will be always visible and never hidden)
3) Use a fixed, but semitransparent, header (in this case it can be hidden on tap)

I don't think 3) will be used, since it would be much harder to keep consistent when the app runs in "tablet/desktop mode" (width > units.gu(80)).

We will probably implement 1), with some exception when the app runs in "desktop mode" in some particular contexts (e.g. libreoffice viewer in presentation mode).
However having a no-fixed header may require some change in the current header configurations/states, therefore I'm marking this bug as 'confirmed', but not 'triaged'.
