Until it shows up in the casebook, or as an annual interpretation, or a point of emphasis, don't lose any sleep over it. Attempting to get up is still a subjective judgement decision.
Coach: "What did she do wrong?"
thedewed: "She was attempting to get up."
Coach: "Thank you for the explanation thedewed. You're an outstanding official. What's with the ears?"

Do you really think subjective opinion should enter into refereeing when it can be avoided? after all, that results in different interpretations of an identical play. that doesn't help guide players or coaches regarding what the players can or can't do.
I know there is always going to be a little variability, but promoting that approach leads to more, IMHO.
