Actually, the interpretation to which Rex refers is about a NON-appeal fourth out. I don't have the J/R in front of me, but the interpretation is the last item in the section on fourth outs, IIRC. In short, it extends the spirit/intent of the fourth out rule to non-appeal outs on forced runners or on the batter-runner before he reaches first.
PBUC has verified that the ruling is official for the pros.
