In FL and NC, we follow the interpretation that Mike originally posted. And, as Tom stated, since this is a state association decision, you should abide by what your state decides.
Also, while the Guide that George Demetriou and Rogers Redding have written is terrific, it is not without errors. I wouldn't call this an error but it's certainly not the rule in every state, anymore than starting from the 10 yard line is.
BTW, if you do find an error in the Guide, they are very receptive to communication regarding it.
