If we're being completely anal, it's neither 'foot on the line' nor 
'foot to the pitch-side of the line'. Technically, the rules imply that 
you should have the smallest possible amount of your pivot point in the 
field of play, so you want to be on the line, but with a quarter of a 
toe inside the pitch. Being either completely inside the line (when 
coming back in), or on the line but not touching the pitch, would be a 
travel.

A simple rule of thumb - if they're sufficiently far from where you 
think the pivot point should be that it affects your ability to 
force/poach/position yourself downfield, then call travel. Otherwise, 
who cares...
