I also can't see a SYD-DFW in action in an all J config. Sounds like wishful thinking rather than fact.
The press release from QF at the time they announced the 787 order went along the lines of not pursuing the non-stop SYD-LHR operation as there was no suitable aircraft capable of viably operating the route. But they may consider it later if such an aircraft was subsequently developed.
