[fixed article screen header]

The main problem with your suggestion is that if you use line
scrolling, the article would jump up and down if you scroll down or
up only one line immediately after (or before) the first screen. You
will lose the line you were reading just before. The other problem
is that it is a major pain to implement; the new code is much easier
to understand and maintain because you don't have to distinguish
between "we are on the first line" and "we are on any other line".
In addition, we don't have to redraw the full screen but only the
article "pane". That's also a UI issue because the screen flickers
on a full redraw.

If there will be any changes to the article screen header it will be
likely a configurable format variable. But still, it is very likely
that there will be no distinction between being on the first or any
other line. It will just be fixed as it is now (but configurable in
what it will display in how many lines.) When this is done, you may
configure this screen header to only display one and your
hyphenation line and use the news_headers_to_(not_)display tinrc
setting for the first screen.
