I look into past discussion BPO-6715 when lzma module proposed.
https://bugs.python.org/issue6715
There is an only comment about FORMAT_ALONE and LZMA1 here
https://bugs.python.org/issue6715#msg92174

It said FORMAT_ALONE decode .lzma archive which use LZMA1 as coder and FORMAT_XZ decode .xz archive which use LZMA2 as coder.
There are no discussion about FORMAT_RAW.
This indicate an opposite relation between two things.
FORMAT_ALONE should use with LZMA1.
FORMAT_XZ should use with LZMA2.
FORMAT_RAW actually no limitation against LZMA1/2.
Here is another discussion about lzma_raw_encoder and LZMA1.
A xz/liblzma maintainer Lasse suggest lzma_raw_encoder is usable for LZMA1.

I think we need fix the document.
