The D3K INT by BR is already in line with the other rules, and that is the problem.

Allow an appeal for an advantageous 4th out on any runner, not just the one who scored.

That was an in-house change in 2003 and I doubt I can get that by because of all the variables ways umpires around the country will apply it (i.e. run scores before the a runner is tagged out for the 3rd out and the BR never touches 1B. I can see an umpire ruling the BR out for entering DBT on an appeal)

Add a companion to the metal cleats proposal for a definition of an illegal slide and the penalty - out and ejected, if breaking up a DP, runner being played on is also out.

Those already exist in an umpire's ability to rule USC. However, a definition of "slide" is probably in order.
