No misdeeds by B will go unpunished...
Regarding the proposed new rule allowing A to accept the touchdown and enforce a live ball foul by B at the succeeding spot (on the try), the NF is attempting to discourage any cheap personal fouls by B to go unpunished during a touchdown play by A.
Now the rule will be consistent with the rule allowing A to enforce B's foul during a successful try at the succeeding spot (on the free-kick or 10 yard line during an overtime period).
Of course, I have not yet seen the final results of the NF football rules committee on this subject.
