Been doing OT games here since the first one was allowed here in 1990. There was never a question about carry over of TOs. Main reason is that in that key word "additional" TOs plus something else. That something else is it does not say anywhere that you loose any TO's unused from previous periods.
That being said, I have seen documented where some states do not allow for carryover TOs. No problem with that.
Gotta remember one very important thing.... the OT proceedure in the NF book is a guide or suggestion. Rule 1-7 makes it clear who is in control of handling ties. It resides with each state athletic office. Therefore I doubt you will see any rule change as each an every state is free to define and implement an OT procedure to their liking and that includes how to handle TOs.
Whatever Mr Diehl said to you in writing about TOs, may not apply at all in other states. It happens to apply here.
