No. HEADER is useful for other things too.
I think more of something like

CREATE  -> SCOPE -> HEADER -> .
something completely different like : ... 
-> REVEAL

(bascially the lonly !E's in your patch are called REVEAL in other forth's)

This covers the SMUDGE in : and ; as well. 

---------- more unrelated stuff ------------
What about word changes? What if  can_foo is placed into 
the can wordlist *and* changes the wordlist entry name to 
foo only? Together with a recognizer that puzzles the pieces
together again, if needed.

Another idea is to organize the scopes like the recognizers
as a stack. They can be called in order and the final default
action is to place the new word in CURRENT.
