New Trigger Policy--[O]fficial clarification requested.

For the “undoes a zone change” remedy on missed triggers–is that meant to apply to triggers whose only effect is undoing the zone change, or does it also apply to triggers which undo zone changes as part of a more complex effect?

Examples:
Long Road Home
Vanish into Memory
Rescue from the Underworld

Thanks!

Edit: fixed card tags

This one slipped through a few cracks, while I was otherwise occupied… sorry!

Just for reference, the current wording from the IPG:
If the triggered ability is a delayed triggered ability that undoes a zone change (including token creation) caused by the spell or ability that created the delayed triggered ability, the opponent chooses whether to resolve the ability the next time a player would get priority or when a player
would get priority at the start of the next phase.

All three of those examples you mentioned, Eli, work just fine with that wording. The issue with the previous wording wasn't the complexity added by those examples, but rather the fact that Prized Amalgam could lead to some odd results under that wording. (For more explanation of the change, check out Toby's blog!)
