I actually already offered to do this and the offer stands. The timeframe has changed a bit since a small client catastophe but hopefully that will get sorted out in the next week or so, and I can do up a pretty, new thread. Have already PM'd Randy and got him teed up to "sticky" it once it is done. So continue to have at it with more Qs and As, and I will get it prettified and stuck some time soon.

My view would be to separate out the directly *ONE* Qs and As from the mileage implications Qs and As. So we would run through the basics (terminology, basic rules for continent/areas, specific continent and sector limit compliance, "true" F routes versus US-domestic F, baggage limits, e-ticketing), then move on to some of the local rule variations, and obliquely point out price variation (i.e. not list prices or link to them, but point out that prices do vary by country to some extent and a search on that front may be revealing) and then finally deal with the mileage implications (codeshares vs. op. carrier, status/tier credits, when benfits of status kick in). Any other views on how to order it are very welcome. As well of course as additional Qs and As on any of the above, or anything else.
