To be the Devil's advocate. This is probably not in response to original post, but an observation. Why are we always in a hurry to signal first down? To me there are many close spots, that automatically get called first downs or called short. I do believe there is a diference from a ball that is 1/2 yard short and one that is inches. We don't want to measure everything, but a spot that looks like a couple inches short or long may not be.
