Actually, it is strange NOT to have a stand-alone root CA When building a
CA hierarchy using Windows Server 2003 PKI, you should use standalone CAs
for the root and intermediate (every non-issuing CA). This will facilitate
taking these CAs offline. The issuing CAs should can be enterprise CAs.

Having standalone and enterprise subordinate CAs also helps in heterogeneous
environments. I run both Windows and Linux clients and servers, both inside
and outside my AD domain.
