Effective from 1 April 2011: if the geographically longest or most significant stretch of your journey is not operated by Lufthansa, but by another airline, this airline’s rules may also apply to Lufthansa flights or Lufthansa flight numbers.

So, on my ticket TLS-FRA-SFO, with the second leg on UA, UA luggage rules for 1P should prevail, correct?
That is an interesting new rule -- not sure how the LH agents will know all the possible baggage rules for all the possible continuing airlines. But UA should be one they should have access to. Also note the word is may, not will..
