this rule, as well as the rule being spoke about by WHUFC that u cant come across the imaginery line between the 2 middle stumps are actually rules being brought into all forms of cricket. this is not just PDCA gone crazy, these are rules brought in by the MCC.
apparently there is also a rule change governing what happens if a part of the part breaks off and knocks off the bails. i think that used to be not out and is now out... or vice versa. and also when a batsmen is running to make his ground, if he makes his ground and then jumps as the throw comes in it used to be given out. its now not out. there is also a rule change that governs fielding on the boundary, that if u start a piece of fielding from outside the boundary whether in the air or not you are now considered out of play and the ball is considered over the boundary, this rule was brought about mainly because of Angelo Matthews fielding for Sri Lanka. If u dont understand here is a link to a video of it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWQaL1j4HE8
