The batter has his front foot completely outside the batter's box. Doesn't the slide contradict rule 7.3.2 and Case Book 7.3.2 SITUATION C?

I believe the point of the slide is a batter's bat or batter hit by a fairly batted ball while at least 1 foot is still in the batters box is a foul ball. They are not changing the rule for the batter contacting the ball while 1 foot is entirely outside the box.
