Discussion of [UITableView tableView heightForFooterInSection]
This method allows the delegate to specify section footers with varying heights. The table view does not call this method if it was created in a plain style (UITableViewStylePlain).

Special Considerations
Prior to iOS 5.0, table views would automatically resize the heights of footers to 0 for sections where tableView:viewForFooterInSection: returned a nil view. In iOS 5.0 and later, you must return the actual height for each section footer in this method.
