Let me throw this into the discussion, and see what people think:
Fed 4-19-3 ...An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, to neutralize an opponent's obvious advantageous position, contact away from the ball or when not playing the ball....
Sounds to me like the Fed rulebook definition of an intentional foul addresses this issue explicitly.
