Hitting the Wrong Target

Hitting the Wrong Target is a chance of hitting someone other than an intended target when an attack misses or is dodged.
In 3e, this was addressed on B117 in regard to ranged weapons. The following page had excellent illustrations. It applied 
B389 addressed this in 4e but removed the chart and penalties to hit people behind cover, perhaps relying on standard cover rules instead.
==Posture==
3e and 4e have good intentions but identical problematic language describing their function in relation to posture as both say:
:Combatants who are kneeling or lying down are not in the way unless you, too, are at their level.
This has the intent of a lying down person being in the way of a lying down person, and a kneeling person being in the way of a kneeling person.
Both of these make complete sense, but it also results in:
*A lying person is not in the way of a kneeling person
*A kneeling person is not in the way of a lying person
The formeri s fine, but the latter doesn't make any sense, as a kneeling person should obstruct a lying person the same way a standing person would.
