Law 20.10 is odd one
[LAWS]20.10 Other than the placer at a place-kick, the kicker’s team must remain behind the ball until it has been kicked.[/LAWS]
.. because it outlaws most quick taps (where it's often the case that players are in front of the kick)
The corresponding Law for a 22m dropout (12.18) simply makes it clear that that when a DO is taken quickly and players are in front, they are covered by offside laws (must retire, cannot interfere with play until put onside by team mate).. which is sensible.
20.10 needs a similar bit of text covering quick taps
