Stupid policy. Elite status should get you some lounge, but the best lounge. Star is far more sane. If oneworld insists on being more generous, surely one level of lounge above what your travel class entitles is sufficient for top elites.
One can only imagine how much it would annoy you to find a OWE/OWS in a domestic AAdmirals Club Lounge (while flying economy) when AA's own elites can't get in regardless of their cabin of service.
