Unfortunately, I don't have any documentation on the rules changes for 2003, so I don't know if the change was commented on at the time.

I do. There was no proposed change presented at the 2002 NC involving the "fourth out appeal". There is no indication of such a change in the front of the 2003 book, yet the change is in Rule 5.
And to be honest with you, I missed it the change.
