If the ball is in the zone when the block is BEGUN then the ball is in the zone for the block...in other words if at the snap a lineman begins to block low, he may do so even if at the moment of contact the ball has already left the zone.

Hmmm...that's an expansive idea, interpreting "blocking" as beginning some time before the actual contact. If at the snap, an OL stays low and takes several steps in a straight line (though
not straight
ahead of where he started) before hitting a DL, where did that block "begin"?
