When I'm in charge, that's how I run it, and I agree with you wholeheartedly (although it's not always an "extra" half yard, it's just as often back a half yard).

But you would be surprised how often I put my foot at the spot of the ball (not on a yardline) after an obvious first down, and get a nasty look from the referee (often accompanied by a spotting of the ball at the nearest line anyway).
