I am curious on the rules and regulations of ST + on excess baggage issues. Is it true that this is NOT a benefit from one partner to another? Meaning it is only limited to the airline you are E+ with and fly?

For example if I am E+ on AF/KL can I get the excess baggage allowance for example travelling on AZ or CO?

I tried looking for this on the various websites (both airlines and ST), but I see always that this benefit is limited to only on the airline where you have the status?

If this is the case, I find this rather a weak side of the ST elite system. If I am not mistaken, for other alliances, this benefit is systemwide for all partners within the alliance.

Extra baggage allowance for BA Elites on BA is nil, unless I am mistaken. So replicating this benefit across all OW airlines would not be too difficult.
