Well then how about we call it the unpenalized foul as there is no penalty for the foul committed.

I love symantecs

The flag indicates that a foul has occurred. The penalty has more to do with the consequenses of said foul. As we know the distance penalty may be declined even though the foul is accepted...correct? So you can still have a sideline rule violation without requiring a distance penalty.

The foul stands so don't wave off the Flag. The important parties (officials, players, and coaches) will all know what is happening (or should). The fans can pick up a signals reference if they want to educate themselves.
