Instead of that, just make sure that your module delivers through the "side"
of the downstream module's territory. In other words, using a chute (even a very
short one) is a pretty easy solution. And that way the standard isn't further
complicated. At least one practical reason for this is for a Type II
(crate-passing) standard, allocating the space above your neighbor's input crate
zone might really limit the solutions.

Then the spec should say that the ball should go through a vertical
plane, and specify the size of the opening.
