Haven't they tried this before, years ago (or was it just mooted)?

Tbh, the issue isn't the law, which is fine, it's how VAR is utilised to enforce it, with the vastly overly pedantic enforcement currently in practice. As the OP says, this won't solve that, just put the lines in a different place.

If VAR must be used, my solution would be, is it obvious? I.e., can you tell with the naked eye on a freeze if the officials have called it wrong? If not, officials' decision stands. No need for lines or changes to the law, just better application of technology required.
