May I ask for a more precise description of why it

other kind of texts than poems? It is not me you need to convince, I ask you
for some good things to say to those who want to use it for other stuff, and
style it accordingly.
The main argument boils down to semantics. The output is wrapped in
<div class="poem">, meaning that people can opt to see poems formatted
in a specific manner. This formatting might not need to be applied to
non-poem texts, or it might be otherwise undesirable. In short, it
comes down to "don't mark up non poems as poems".
It would be somewhat trivial to expand the extension to allow
customising the class output according to the tag used; if another use
case pops up, we can add another tag and class combination.
