To this I agree, some serious TWP's could come from this...

And I think logically that a runner can be considered to have passed another runner without fully passing them if home plate is involved, but perhaps something in the book explicitly forecloses that though it would solve a lot of potential problems.

Something in the book does... the rule itself.

Yeah, without having my book handy I was hoping someone would point out what does. My question another way: is passing defined by rule or by interpretation?

So it is. That leaves very little room for maneuvering. And since the definition of force doesn't include it coming off for a trailing runner scoring, I'm taking it you have an out in the first scenario I posted?
