Terminology alert. I'd tend to call sections that are designed never to mate
with anything else something other than "common", They're more or less unique,
since the interface across the module boundary is non standard and unique to
that particular pair of modules (track profile, land profile, roadways, etc).
However, these are the most "common" (in the numerical sense) kind of boundary,
as the "standard interface points" are relatively uncommon (only 2 pair in the
current planned config), and there are lots of "unique" boundaries planned.
Confused yet? :-)
