By a strict reading of the rule, some very standard plays should be called violations. Unless, of course, one happens to read the handouts or the old notices, and knows differently.

Are you suggesting that 4-12-3c is insufficient, needing perhaps the words "for purposes of determining the consequences of a foul by the throw-in team", or something to that effect? Would you agree with that?

Did you notice how the new 4.12.2B seems to try to make up for whatever might still be lacking in the rulebook? Do you agree with all that?

They did take the "or" out of 9-9-1, which clarified that somewhat, or at least made the mud clearer. Do you agree with that?

(I'm still ticked off at "predominant color of the uniform" in 3-5-3b and 3-5-4a, and the obvious error in 3.5.4 if they're gonna dictate 3-5-3b and 3-5-4a. Not merely disappointed. Papa-Oscar'ed.)
