OK, I'm the crazy guy who posted the 112k itin. No, I did not fly it. However, I think it works with the new rules given to me by AA's RTW desk.

I believe that there are not too many segments or that there is backtracking. The segments in yellow count as 'intercontinental trips' in which it is OK to transit through another continent without counting it as a visit to that continent. Also, these intercontintal trips do not count towards the segment limits.

Within each continent I have only 4 segments and 3 cities, the limit according to new rules.

I'd love to know for a fact if I'm wrong about any of this. I tried to maximize use of the intercontinental exception to maximize segments and miles. Please post back if an RTW desk tells you otherwise.

Cheers,
Paul
