Follow-up Comment #1:

I think I have this nut cracked.

I have now done said digging.

It already does.  They are named 'fn' and 'h', respectively.

> 2. FAM strings for footnotes and titles should be exposed, perhaps FAMFN and
FAMHF, or perhaps, I'm inclined to think, package-internal strings since few
document authors will desire the effect described above.

I've created these strings.  For now I'm using internal string names and not
documenting them.

I've given them more intelligible names than "fn" and "h", though, I think.

> 3. ms initialization should copy FAMFN and FAMHF from FAM.

Done, modulus the name change.

> 4. FAMFN and FAMHF should be used to determine the font family in the
footnote and title environments, respectively.

Ditto.

> 5. A paragraph reset should change _only_ FAM.

This was more interesting since the par@reset macro is used both for regular
paragraphs and footnote paragraphs.  Writing a conditional based on the name
of the environment got the desired behavior.
