Well, as a documentation contributor, I guess you earned a bit of
extra support :-)

Let us summarize what you want to do:

1. On all pages: do not display the page number in the header, and
instead display it in the footer.

2. On pages ending within a non-numbered section: Do not display any
header text.

3. Other constraints: sections start a new page. Actually using chapter
would be more appropriate, but for some reason you prefer to use
section.

Note: there is something weird going on... why is there "seccion 7"
(the last section) in the header of the first pages?

I designed a package that you should in addition to article style
which does all this.

Also there seem to be some interaction between the page breaking
primitives and setting 'this page header/footer'. Indeed, 'this page
header/footer' must be set BEFORE a 'page break' or 'new page'. So you
should use the 'empty page' value defined in this stylsheet (using the
hybrid '\' command) instead of

  <format|new page><assign|this page header|><assign|this page footer|>

I see you use empty lines for formatting. You should use vertical
spacing elements instead. You may want to factor 'page break before'
and a 'big skip before' inside the 'u-section' and 'section' macros.
You can do this easily by putting those in the 'section extras' macros
in this package.

I designed the package to place the headers and footers at places
convenient for a bound, recto-verso printed document.
