This doesn't make sense from the perspective of the RFC 2119
guidelines.  The choice between MUST and RECOMMENDED is effectively
governed by the question "would failure to comply with this
constraint prevent successful interoperation".  It's *not* a
question of whether the modules are "standard" (does that include
non-IETF efforts?) or "enterprise".  Either they're both "MUST"
or they're both "SHOULD/RECOMMENDED".
