p.s. I saw it happen last night in a Junior College game and I think it was done improperly.
Sitch: 4th and whatever from B's 45 yd. line. Team A lines up to kick a 55 yd field goal (they made one this length earlier). This one is partially blocked at the los, lands at about the 12 and rolls to the 3 yd line where it is downed by Team A. The crew was obviously unsure at first, they originally took it back to the 45 and then talked again and then took it back to the three yd line. Team B then gets a safety and in a very tight game it nearly cost them the game. They actually scored with 13 seconds left to win 23-20.

Here in Canada we would have a FGA. Missed FGAs are treated as a punt, so the restraining zone is in effect.
Team A player recovering the ball will draw a flag. After consultation between the calling official and the Referee, the A player that recovered the ball was either offside or was onside.
Offside:
-------
The flag will stand for a restraining zone foul. (5.4.2) Where any B player was or wasn't, and where other A players we or weren't have no bearing on the flag and it's application. B 1D/10 @ B-18.
Onside:
------
The flag will stand if there was also at least 1 offside team A player also in the 5 yard restraining zone. B 1D/10 @ B-18.
The flag will be picked up if the onside player was the only team A player in the restraining zone or other A players in the RZ were onside. A 1D/G @ B-3.
