Not that European J on IB is all that swell, but IMO not a deal breaker.

I copied LEN over from the oneworld validator without checking what it was, as I assumed it to be St. Petersburg. Mea culpa.

I guess I could do TLV and CAI (both places I have been wanting to visit) from MAD, but on an AONEx it would be a bit of a waste. On a DONEx it means giving up Club World on one sector.

Indeed.

Doesn't LA have F on their FRA-MAD-SCL flights? I think JL has F on their CDG and FRA flights as well, but I am not familiar with the differences in JL F products.

I don't think you can do TLV and CAI starting from MAD,

Edit: I mean not without giving up more than one CW sector.
