What about somebody just happening to wander by, seeing a dead mob, and looting it? He doesn't know you are logging back in. How can that be 'your' kill?

I addressed that by saying it is technically a violation. That said, newbies are never "prosecuted" on this because 1. No body is going to bother and 2. You may have implicitly ceded rights by your own behavior.
This is why I said to determine guilt would be a factual inquiry into exactly what you did. The decision maker would then have to determine, based upon the situational facts, if you did cede your rights by your actions. This can easily be avoided if you tell the guy "I am logging over to my alt, you cannot touch my mob."
Not entirely. Absurdity exists when you move past what is reasonable. If there were an established principle that limited my hypothetical, then what I said could be fallacious. However, my example does exist. We've had people be the last one in the zone, while on an alt, to loot an item. I suggest, that because the situation can occur it is not absurd to use it as an example.

This is far more similar to dropping items on the ground for an alt to pick up than loot on a raid mob, therefore it is unreasonable to apply raid rules to the situation.
Individual opinions may vary.

I addressed this in a post above. Also, the linked statement from Rogean explicitly finds no distinction between raid mobs and the situation at hand.
