Could you elaborate. I would like to understand why the statement that 
"every module is a bimodule" is not acceptable.

In PanAxiom we have

BiModule(R:Ring,S:Ring):Category ==
   Join(LeftModule(R), RightModule(S))

Module(R:CommutativeRing): Category == BiModule(R,R)
   add
     if not(R is %) then x:%*r:R == r*x

What does that have to do with ideal=twosided ideal vs. 
submodule!=twosided submodule (or whatever the problem is)?
