Sean, I think where the confusion lies is that yes the PowerPoint presentation changes the wording from "K is not in possession of the ball" (in the rule) to "When R has the ball at the end of the down".
There really is no difference in the outcome of these two wordings. First note that they are talking ONLY about team possession, not player possession. And they are talking about the final result of the play (barring, of course, any non-PSK penalties, IWs, etc.). The final result of most kicks leaves R in possession of the ball at the end of the down even though they may not have had player possession during the down.

But again, hopefully they will recognize the problems with the current wordings, and their "clarifications", and change things to be at least translucent.... we should hope to get to "clear" with K.C.??
