Anyhow, it looks like this may all be moot since the policy is not changing, as pointed out by HilFly in this thread:

All Skyteam ElitePlus are lounge access eligible (by way of ElitePlus status) on all US-Canada and US-Mexico Skyteam trips. Can't say the same goes generally for all OW Sapphire/Emeralds flying Oneworld trips internationally within North America.

Things will still be inconsistent between Skyteam and Oneworld on intra-North America international trips.
