I agree that going to the mouth is a balk from the windup, but IMO the following case play (new in 2009) is inconsistent with the notion that "Going to his mouth is the start of the pitch."
*6.1.2 SITUATION D: F1, while on the pitcher’s plate in either the windup or set position, (a) adjusts his cap or (b) shakes off the signal with his glove, or (c) shakes off the signal with his head. RULING: In (a) through (c), these are legal actions if these movements of the arms and legs are not associated with the pitch. It isn't obvious to me that going to the mouth is a noticeably different action than adjusting the cap.
