It's probably the one that's in there every year about not picking and choosing rules to enforce.
I personally would never like to see it be mandatory for defensive players to wear face protection- hopefully it won't carry over to umpires since, if you think about it, we're the closest person to the batter other than the pitcher when we're in B or C, the older guys are not as quick and agile as an 18 yr old boy, and we don't have a glove to defend ourselves.
I've generally been a supporter of FED rules, except for 1 or 2 off the top of my head. This new rule, if it comes to fruition, will also be added to my exceptions list.
