I think there is some mention of the words "moving screen" in the Points of Emphasis this year but those words are not in the rules - Rule 4.39.6

Respectfully, Tony, I beg to differ. Although the exact phrase "moving screen" is not used in the rulebook, moving screens are discussed and can be legal:
Rule 4-39-2c: To establish legal screening position, The screener must be stationary, except when both are moving in the same path and the same direction.
So there is such an animal as a moving screen, and it can even be legal. In fact, it's mentioned explicity in the section that you intended to reference.
As a side note, there is no 4.39.6; there is no rule 4.39.6. Rule citations are noted with dashes (4-39-6); case plays are noted with periods (4.1.1). I know it seems like nit-picking, but it helps clarify whether you intended to reference a rule or a case example.
