7-IANA section , there is a statement:
"In the future, PWE3 related standards track PW modules should be
  rooted under the pwStdMIB subtree...."
I think you meant to say MIB modules not PW modules.
Also, there is some better wording examples in 4181, maybe you can realign with that.
[DR] actually RFC 4181 discourages the practice of placing MIB modules under a subtree other than mib-2. See section 4.5:
 
- The value assigned to the MODULE-IDENTITY descriptor MUST be unique
     and (for IETF standards-track MIB modules) SHOULD reside under the
     mgmt subtree [RFC2578].  Most often it will be an IANA-assigned
     value directly under mib-2 [RFC2578], although for media-specific
     MIB modules that extend the IF-MIB [RFC2863] it is customary to use
     an IANA-assigned value under transmission [RFC2578].  In the past,
     some IETF working groups have made their own assignments from
     subtrees delegated to them by IANA, but that practice has proven
     problematic and is NOT RECOMMENDED.
