Then headroom has no meaning whatsoever in that context, and I find it hard to believe that a specific term would be created to define 'well, anywhere really'.

Headroom has always been defined to me to mean the difference between optimum operating level and circuit failure for any specific piece of equipment.

I would be happy to stand corrected though.
