Sorry if I'm failing to understand your evidence. Those look to me like
evidence that that is how the package is often _used_. What in those do you
see showing _intent_ (of the package author, presumably)?
This is not to say that the undocumented requirement you've postulated is
either incorrect or unreasonable. Certainly, in my own use I've never found
need to jump right into text without setting up headers and/or calling a
content macro (paragraphing, keep, etc.).
But my understanding of -ms and -mm (gleaned from osmosis rather than any
study on my part) is that certain requests initialize aspects of the package,
whereas -me is as initialized as it ever gets merely by being included. This
suggests that, while it's very common to call some -me macro before outputting
text, it's not required.
