The new rule is simpler, but also makes invalid an itinerary that includes South Africa and transits Europe/Middle East twice. E.g., JNB-DOH-rtw-DOH-JNB.

Rule says
If travel is to/from Europe in both directions,
If travel is to/from Middle East in both directions,
JNB-DOH-rtw-DOH-JNB isn't to/from Europe in both directions.
Furthermore,
travel is to/from Europe in both directions
In previous rule, there is a description:
Europe/Middle East - Africa - Europe/Middle East
So, we may understand 'both direction'.
However, new rule doesn't have such description.
So, what is 'both direction' ?

The continent of Europe-Middle East consists of 2 zones:
* Europe (including Algeria, Morocco, Russia west of the Urals & Tunisia)
* Middle East (including Egypt, Libya and Sudan)
* Europe (including Algeria, Morocco, Russia west of the Urals & Tunisia)
* Middle East (including Egypt, Libya and Sudan)
3. Two permitted in Europe/Middle East.
itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa.
itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa.
So, in this current rule, an itinerary that has two intercontinental departures/arrivals and includes Mauritius/South Africa may exist.
What is such an itinerary ?

That is how I read the rule and wonder if anyone can confirm that this seems a reasonable interpretation?
If so, it surely adds a great deal of flexibility to the NA segment and is most welcome from that standpoint.

Your reading makes sense, so I'm happy to agree. Ex-South Africa isn't the bargain that it used to be, but still isn't bad, so something such as JNB-DOH-SYD-NRT-JFK-LAX-LHR-JNB would be valid. Or possibly MPM-DOH- ... -JNB.

I'm also curious whether there is anything explicit in a typical xONEx fare rule that specifies that future rule clarifications/changes must be ignored or refused at the time of any future ticket reissue(s).
I have an xONEx ticket purchased last year (before Dec. 1), with the first flight next month, and I'm wondering whether rule changes that have occurred since purchase will be permitted or refused when, after the first flight, I submit requests for routing changes. The two that most impact me are 1. the then-existing limitation on U.K - Middle East flights (NOT MORE THAN 2 OF WHICH MAY BE BETWEEN THE UK AND ALBANIA/ALGERIA/BULGARIA/CROATIA/CYPRUS/GREECE/LIBYA/ISRAEL/MIDDLE EAST/MOROCCO/ROMANIA/RUSSIA WEST OF THE URALS/TUNISIA/TURKEY/UKRAINE); and 2. the ability to take a stopover in N. America, then visit S. America, and then return to N. America with a stopover (and not just a transit). I know that historically there were some limitations on applying newer rules to these tickets, but I'm wondering whether that was a contractual issue or more a tradition followed by certain telephone CS agents (i.e. perhaps overcome today by HUACA).
Insights very much appreciated.

For a whole unflown ticket, the old ticket is exchanged for a new one. Essentially, the value of the old ticket is used as a credit towards a wholly new ticket issued according to the situation today. (There is an exception if the first fare component is not changed.)
For a partially flown ticket, the old ticket is reissued, and all historical fares (and fare rules), are taken from the date of original issue. (It needs to have been theoretically possible to have issued the new itinerary on the original issue date.)
RTW or xONEx fares are not "special" in this regard. If the airline treats a rule change as a "clarification" as you put it then they may be willing to use the new wording. But if it really is a rule change, then strictly speaking they should use the old rules for a reissue. Of course you may be able to get away with it because these fares have a large amount of manual process in them.

This is the standard IATA rule for doing a ticket change. (See for instance the IATA Ticketing Handbook, changes chapter.)

I think, like you said, these tickets are so complicated that no one takes the time to go back and study all the iterations of the rules in effect at the time of ticketing.

The version now on the web site has the above wording as posted by pbd456, which is the wording that had been there for some time.
Looking at the document properties for the now current version and the version that was there on 15-August (I took a copy):
15-Aug version was created on 1-Aug-17 at 11:47am
Current version was modified on 1-Aug-17 at 3:51pm
However, looking at the GDS version of the rules in ExpertFlyer, it reflects the rules at they were on 15-Aug, though it is not an exact match (see the 15-Aug wording in post #461)
FLIGHT APPLKCATION
E. ONLY ONE INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND ONE INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS -
E. ONLY ONE INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND ONE INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS -
- TWO PERMITTED IN NORTH AMERICA.
- TWO PERMITTED IN ASIA.
- TWO PERMITTED IN EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST FOR TRAVEL TO/FROM/VIA AFRICA. IF TRAVEL IS TO/FROM EUROPE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ITINERARY MAY NOT INCLUDE MAURITIUS/SOUTH AFRICA.
