I don't really care about that, but any part of the foot in the air over a lane boundary on a FT is a violation. Seems pretty simple to me, but maybe I am missing something.

You're correct coach. Over the line is the same as on the line when it comes to the FT lane. A foot may not break the plane of the lane before the shot contacts the rim. This is not true, however, for any other body part. If this were not the case, you'd see the running jump shot on the FT to get closer but in the air before shooting.
