Hi Matt,

First, this seems fine, almost trivial.

This statement implies a problem of greater scope than what you are solving:

   It is not possible to fully determine if a Source Text of ECMAScript
   is meant to be parsed in the Module or Script grammar goals based
   upon content alone.

My initial reaction to this statement was: so why aren't we seeing a
request for a new media type?

You neglect to mention that uses of the module on the web do not
depend on additional distinguishing marks because they have the
type="module" attribute on script tags.

Nit: There Are So Many Proper Nouns In This Document.  Is that really necessary?
