I've thought about it and do not think it is a good idea to introduce
specific options for firstfoot and so on. Since firstfoot can take
arbitrary TeX-Code, setting it in the Org file can quickly become
cumbersome. And a footer containing banking information is fairly
consistent, so it can be set in an optional LCO file. I've used this as
an example in the tutorial on Worg. (I pushed the tutorial today, but
it's not published yet.)
Cheers,
Viktor
