Novie, when you fill out the new form online, 'it' supposedly then takes into account where you are from and where you are applying from and then give you a list of supporting document required. IF it is a new rule, then it should be clearly visible on their website, otherwise I call them out as liars and covering up their mistake as Rayna said.

Keep on top of it, don't let them get away with it. Because I complained, they let me have my second passport application for free.
