As for AA, we seem to continue to get sporadic reports about their agents' inability to find this on their database--which means either their database is incorrect or their agents are clueless. TWOV isn't exactly new, it's been around a few years even in abbreviated form.
DL agents at some stations, notably NRT, claim to be unable to find the 72 hour TWOV and insist that you cannot leave the airport.
