SMO, you have everything you need right there. as far as i can see.

according to Baseball Guide it is clear, but it is not clear in baseball rules book.
I know that pitching regs begin when he addresses the rubber, but does this imply that he cannot do anything (ie. use his sleeve to wipe the sweat off of his brow) even if he has not assumed the windup position? If so, then when he addresses the rubber he only has two actions: legally step back from rubbber with pivot or begin his delivery. Correct??
