How many times have you seen a loose ball, player runs after trying to get control, the ball hits off the players foot and the coaches start screaming for a kicked ball? I agree, that the act must be intentional. I believe that I can tell when a player intentionally strikes a ball with his/her foot and when it is simply incidental to the play (i.e. the scenario above). If it is intentional and the ball strikes at below the knee, violation.
