As Bob said, it's by interpretation and tradition that we call a foul when a batter is hit while in the box, regardless of where in the box.
Unless the batter is hit with his fair ball while he has one foot on the ground completely out of the batter's box. The new rules will reflect this currently enforced interpretation.
