Once you touch a door or a window, you're now in a Level 2 under the IBC. Depending on how picky the local jurisdiction wants to get, you'll likely have Energy Compliance issues, among other things, you might need to comply with ... which is probably why the Tinker needed a 17 page report.
A "header" for a window, isn't necessarily going to support a door, there are other considerations.
