True, the letter of the law says that the keeper is to be on the line. However, I think this is a spirit v. letter of the law situation. If the keeper was stationary and not moving forward or backward, she was within the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. Additionally, she put herself at a disadvantage with her positioning. Is it the referee's responsibility to identify and correct such situations?
