REPLY: I also recall that NF 6-1-1 is interpreted literally. If the ball is on the two, R's restraining line is 8 yards deep into the end zone.

At least for Federation, imagine what would happen on this play if it wasn't:
PLAY: Kickers leading 20-18 late in 4th quarter. Receiver makes a fair catch on K's 45. On the ensuing play (from scrimmage), A10 runs to B's 2 where he is tackled by the face mask. After enforcement, coach of A informs the referee he wants to free kick from B's 2. (Remember he's entitled to choose that option, because he's replaying the down following the fair catch).
