Without defining what is illegal and what is not, there is a LOT of room for different interpretations. I think that this sort of thing has one goal in mind: Consistency.
I think that you will start to see more of this on the men's side as well.
Judgement in the ad/dis concept. Turning the game into more black and white less grey, which i personally think is good. However many in my association disagree and say that the rules are only a guide they use when they are the ones on the court.
