Interception AND foul in the EZ

[KWH]

Thanks for the responses...

If I read rule 8.5.2C correctly, any team in possession of the ball, if they commit a spot foul in their own endzone, the result would be a safety...

Does anyone disagree with this and can you provide support as to why...?

Remember, it is only a safety if the penalty is accepted:
Case play:
A's ball 1st and ten on the A 1 yard line
A1 throws a forward pass which is intercepted by B1 on the A 15 yard line and returned to the A 3 yard line. Prior to the pass A71 is flagged or holding in the A endzone.
Options for captain of B:
Accept the penalty and the result of the play is a safety.
Decline the penalty, B's ball 1st and goal on the A 3 yard line.

Depending on the game situation, A may want to decline the penalty and go for the touchdown!
