It's not. Judgement call based on colloquial understanding.
In the other cases, team R has the same options as in Fed & NCAA of accepting the result of the play or penalizing 5 yards from previous spot and repeating the down.
In Rugby Union in the case of a kick-off or drop-out directly to touch (out of bounds on a fly), the other team's choices are:
- do-over
- put the ball into scrum at center of line where play was awarded
- accept result -- throw-in, which may even be taken quickly before ref presents choices
