I'm inclined to agree.

The main point of my message was primarily to suggest a goal for the resulting
output, assuming a default configuration.

Secondarily, that it might make sense to split parts of
'format_element_header' (called at end of each node/section)
into a new separate 'format_page_footer' (called at end of page).
However, calling 'format_page_footer' while processing the first node/section
in a page is almost certainly not the right thing to do.
