Beware of taking the rule book literally, Buddha, and don't expect crystal-clear writing.
If you want to see a classic example of ASA ambiguity, check out the post labeled "What is ASA referring to?" which deals with a sentence added to the rule book this year. The sentence contains two errors in syntax, one punctuation error, and one minor error in parallelism. (Amazingly, it does not contain a grammatical error.)
I would recommend the ASA casebook. It isn't written any better, but it does cover many specific examples that might be hard to determine strictly from the rule book. ASA doesn't advertise it, but it is available if you call them.
