The DoT exception has not changed at all. From April 2015, a number of changes came into effect. The two changes that are public-facing are:
1. Canada's CTA decided to follow the US DoT's exception rules. That means the US DoT exception now applies to tickets where the furthest ticketed point is in the US or Canada.
Note: beware of RTW/circle type tickets, just because it involves travel to the US or Canada, it does not always mean the US DoT exception rules apply.
2. IATA amended resolution 302 with a number of changes, though the main one the travelling public would be affected by is the change from most significant (operating) carrier to most significant marketing carrier.
I know of a RTW ticket in whY that was majority QF SYD/DXB/LHR & JFK/LAX/SYD whuch had a two piece allowance however the LHR/JFK sector on BA was only one piece.
