Pete, I don't see this as a complex issue. The "end of playing action" would be when all apparent attempts have ceased of:
(1) all runners attempting to advance, and
(2) a defender attempting to put out a runner
Both must have ceased for playing action to be complete.
End of playing action can also be caused by an official declaring "Time", handling a live ball, or by other acts in the rules so specified causing the ball to become dead.
Just my opinion,
