Team A would be allowed to use the numbering exception until the ball was put in play or play was prevented, even if B shifted out of their scrimmage kick formation.

This would never work. I don't care how many games you have officiated or worked, the game of football is not played that way. A makes the decision of whether or not to punt independently of B's formation. It all depends on down and distance, time, and situation. B would never send someone deep just to allow A to sub. They wouldn't want the "good" snapper in the game. They would wait until the last second then drop someone back. That has got to be one of the wackiest things anyone has come up with on this forum (and that alone says alot!) Furthermore you state, "the officials would allow time for A to sub in numbers outside of 50-79." WTF?
Robert, your much researched knowledge of the game and it's rules is usually impressive and interesting. Your practical knowledge and application often appears to be from another planet.
