Hi Ingo, yes, the mm functions are documented as general-purpose.
There's at least one other package that uses them (MH-E).

I don't see any problems with MH-E when I use an external viewer.  I
guess this is because MH-E is invoking mm-display-external directly in
response to a user keystroke, rather than going through mm-display-part.
And MH-E passes in a string, not a function, as the method.

I don't know how much the above helps you, but I wanted to reassure you
that the mm layer is supposed to be general-purpose.

regards,
mike
