It sounds like it would be for the NFL. They don't want to wipe out plays completely when possible. We would let B decline A's PF and keep the ball after enforcement. The NFL actually enforced both of these penalties by stating they offset after the change of possession.
There are other situations where, even though there is a foul on both teams, a 5 yard penalty is declined by rule because the 15 yarder must be enforced. In our game we would offset but they want the big penalties enforced.
If you put our penalty enforcement rules on a flow chart it would look like a stick with one branch. An NFL chart would look like two huge trees grew together.
