I'm not exactly sure if a field name should be supported in the header 
template, but based on a quick browse of the code there are two other 
ways you could possibly pass the information (depending on what you have 
on the client side):

1- You can use parameters from the URL in a template tag. e.g. if you 
pass myprov=Quebec in the URL then you should be able to use [myprov] in 
your template.

2- You can reference layer-level metadata in query templates using 
[metadata_...]

(Those are untested hints based on a quick browse of the source)
