and then it makes sense to let you do multiple commits with a single 
command when the paths end in different modules, since that's obviously 
what you're requesting, and then -a must do all of them.

Except what if the submodules have different commit message
standards?  E.g. one requires signoff and another doesn't?  Or one
allows privately held information (e.g. its your coporate project)
and one doesn't (e.g. its an open source project you use/contribute
to)?

I don't think you'd ever want the same commit message for commits in two 
projects. In any case where you'd commit a submodule in the process of 
committing a supermodule, git would do this by recursively calling 
git-commit, which would prompt for separate commit messages.
