The refs use their judgment in 5 vs 15 yard facemask penalties. Obviously, that's not as important in a game as PI, but there is a precedent. I hate the spot of foul rule because it often is the difference in games--I was at the Dallas game in week three and that was utter BS. But you're right about taking down WRs just to save TDs--so maybe the intentional/unintentional thing is the way to go. It puts a lot in the refs hands, but of course, they already have the game in their hands, and this gives them some flexibility on the tough calls. (I doubt it will be changed, given the "open offense" trend...)
