It seems to me that the basic formula worked out in the standard should be a
_minimum_ for compliance, rather than a _maximum_ for inclusion. If person X
designs a moonbase module that doesn't look and act just like yours, but it
does: a) leave 4 studs at the edge, b) connect to the standard connector, and
c) use primarily light grey at the connection point, then why not allow it?
When you say that you're not going to mention it on the web site, does that
mean that you won't link to modules that use double wide connectors? Or just
that you're not going to specify an alternate connection standard? If you're a
moonbase coordinator at a public fest, and someone brings a module that plugs
into your just fine, but is also able to plug into a wider corridor, will you
turn it away?
Modules should comply with the standard enough that _any_ modules can be
plugged together. But why be more uptight about it than that?
