All these rules are really interpreted by the agent involved. Just need to find a willing agent to issue the ticket according to his/her understanding of the rule.

I find the rule quite vague in general.

2019-Feb-11 New Version of the Rule Sheet
 
The rule sheet is again available on the Oneworld web site
(Home Page --> Global Travel --> Oneworld Explorer --> FAQ "How is my Fare Calculated" --> "Click here for full fare rules and conditions")

I'm not sure of the significance of this change. The following paragraph has been removed from Rule 15 "Sales restrictions"
When travel originates in a country for which a specific local currency fares is published and the ticket is sold in another country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted to the currency of the country of sale at the bank selling rate.
Other than the above, there are only minor changes from the version of 2019-Jan-08, according to diffchecker)

A comment at the top:
Eff 1 September 2018
• Fares ex Egypt introduced
• Para 4 (j) Open Skies removed as an affiliated airline of BA
Part of Rule 4(j) has changed
From:
QF operated services within USA (eg LAX-JFK vv) not permitted unless booked as a through flight segment between Australia & USA (eg SYD-JFK vv)
To:
QF operated services within USA (eg LAX-JFK vv) not permitted unless booked in conjunction with a QF operated and marketed online connection or stopover flight at LAX
Some changes to the list of affiliated airlines

Some other, very minor changes

I'd missed this.

Are the new ex-Egpypt fares interesting?

Thanks for finding the rules again!
Reading the QF12 (JFK-SYD) with a short layover in LAX, it is ok to treat it as 1 segment within xONEx itinerary, right?

Yes, it is one flight coupon. Provided you book it as a through-flight of course. If you stop for several days in LAX, it is two flights.

Yes, it is on 1 flight coupon. The layover in LAX is only about 2 hours.

Cool. Thanks.

There is no F on the North America segment, so F has to be booked as two flight coupons, one in D and the other in A

True - but it can be booked as a single segment JFK-SYD in D.

Wiki Created
 
I obviously have too much time on my hands - because I've created a wiki for this thread that lists in reverse chronological order the changes that have occurred to the Oneworld Explorer rule sheet - going back to 2009

I may well have missed some changes - so feel free to make corrections :D
