I don't see "fully" in the rule or any specific like the time limit has expired and the additional inning completed, although I wonder if "still tied" means that.

I guess I don't understand your confusion.
In the old rule, time expires after x-time, complete the inning.
In the new rule, time expires after x-time, complete the inning and the next.
Now, what happens if time expires at the exact instant the 3rd out is recorded? Do you play one inning or two?
