That linked document is 2007, so would also be questionable. In Australia, we leave our Mode S transponders on until we park:

Note 2: Australia does not require TA/RA to be deselected while aircraft is on ground.
c. When parked and shutting down engines, select STANDBY.
Mode C transponders must be Standby until commencing takeoff roll and immediately after landing.

I've never had a TCAS RA caused by another aircraft on the ground.
