I hears some discussion on this in a meeting this summer, the result of which was that (assuming a moving clock after the RFP) A) the best solution is to reset the clock to where it was when the RFP was blown, start the clock, and give a new 25 seconds, and B) if it could not be determined with any degree of accuracy when the RFP was blown ... but it COULD be determined more accurately when the the ball was snapped, to reset it to the time when the ball was snapped and DON'T start the clock.
A is obviously better, but B seems a logical solution which also is as close to a do-over as possible in some circumstances. Problem was - other than the "as best as you can" part of the rule, it didn't seem we had rule justification for B.
The worst thing you can do, though, is a hybrid of these - set the clock to when the ball was snapped AND start the clock, or set it to when the RFP was blown and NOT start the clock.
