I am not quite sure whether that's the case but i guess xONEx are generally permits to book on any codeshare flights when its marketed and operated by any oneworld carriers.
My itinerary looks like this now though I mostly booked on prime code, the SYD-HKG flight is booked on AY coded CX operated flight with a QF connection from AKL before it.
OSL-xDOH-AKL-xSYD-HKG-xSIN-HND-BKK-HND-xDFW-xJFK-LAX-DOH-DUB-xDOH-OSL
Forgot to check if there are AY/QR/JL codeshare on
DFW-JFK-LAX but still got time so probably just check later.
Guess most people who booked with CX will naturally have a CX code and operated flight in the itinerary so didn't encounter the issue I have but still fine at least they don't require to have CX flights on any long/over water sectors like AA did.
