I don't buy the 18 hour thing - I think that must have been an uninformed agent. I can't tell you how many times I've had to go back and forth on "stopover" versus "layover", so I'm not surprised in the least. That said, there's no time definition on the US website for international stopovers - only domestic ones (anything exceeding 4 hours).
