That being said, there should be a clause in the rulebook that allows a ref to award a goal if a handball occurs on the goalline on a ball that would otherwise be heading into the net.

that's too arbitrary. there would be some terrible fricking decisions (see: usa facehand). there's too much going on in front of goal to figure out everything that would factor into that rule while play is going on.
