Cool! Long overdue in my opinion.

Agree. There is still a gray area and that is that it must be determined what caused the ball to move? If caused by the player, replace and no penalty but if some other element caused the ball to move, wind, gravity, water, then the ball is played from where it came to rest. If the latter and the ball is stopped or deflected by the player or his club, then 19-2 provides a penalty of 1 stroke.
