As I re-read the posts on this thread, I see a lot of "I would (your answer here
)
if I got this request."
Nobody is regularly seeing this request. I can't remember ever having seen anybody request a lineup outside of rec ball. This is probably one reason it has been dropped from the books. Thus any decision made on the court would have to be accepted and life will continue.
However. . . I would say that Mark is probably right that you can use the old reference as the best reference available, while recognizing that it is not available to many refs and others that were aware of the old reference may not believe it still applies. Nobody is going to (or should) be stringing up a new ref for not responding "appropriately" to the line-up request. But if the ref were to inquire later, I would bet that the official response would be that the request can be allowed.
