Had a play yesterday - slot man jumped the count, I shut the play down for a false start. Partner (who's been doing this for 27 years, so I trust that's true) says if it's on (or in this case, right next to, since he was in the slot) the end of the line, it's a live ball foul and you drop the flag and let the play continue, as opposed to an interior lineman jumping.
If that's true, I didn't know that (probably my own fault), but it's another example of how you learn stuff every day.
