You are correct, of course, that using only the phrase "during the throw-in" leaves a hole; and I knew that when I wrote the above post. But I wasn't trying to write the actual rule change. I was just trying to show the ease of changing the penalty without changing our basic definitions.
The penalty change could very easily be written to include the time from the beginning of the throw-in until player control is established.
