Section 7.1 (module) and 7.2 (submodule) have this text:

   Standard module names will be assigned by IANA.  The names of all
   standard modules MUST be unique (but different revisions of the same
   module should have the same name).

   Private module names will be assigned by the organization owning the
   module without a central registry.  It is recommended to choose names
   for their modules that will have a low probability of colliding with
   standard or other enterprise modules, e.g. by using the enterprise or
   organization name as a prefix.

The idea has always been to make module names work like in SMIv2.
