Good call! The line is a visual aide, it is not a suggestion, but an absolute, and no part of the aircraft may cross it. You cant see it if the nose is over the line...
Depending on where they set alarm, or the type of alarm (we used to use simple light beams, and as you know, were set to nose wheel, but now it is going to more of a scan beam that detects up to 10m)
Aside from that, what exactly do you gain by inching up to the last possible point?
