Chet,
Understand your reasoning perfectly.
Thanks for the extra starting point. If I get anything working I'll put
in on GitHub.

Whereas vi and vim both start in "Normal" mode.
The most important thing is that readline exists so people can enter
command lines.
Users expect to be able to immediately enter a command at a shell prompt.
I don't think that varying that much from user expectations is useful.
If you want to start in command mode, you can always type ESC as the first
thing.
If you want to play around with it, you might start looking at
rl_set_keymap_from_edit_mode() as well as the line in readline.c you
identified, but this is not a candidate for inclusion in readline.
