"When you deviate, you communicate." There is not one mechanics manual that covers every situation; actually it would be impossible to draw out every possible play. Unfortunately, too many umpire want to live in a world of "which spot do I go to when X happens" (I think we even saw this in the thread already). Mechanics are not about X's and O's, it is about concepts. Therefore, to answer your little twist: If I'm PU, I'm communicating to my partner that I've got additional responsibilities (fair/foul); if I'm BU, I'm listening for my partner and (even in a game with an ASA evaluator) I may stay outside for a better angle.
