I know one of the designers who worked on the A380 wing...and he was telling me that the first task after engineering the initial design would be to review the whole wing to remove weight from subsequent units.

Would the same not happen with a fuselage? I still wonder if Boeing might make a number of step changes to the composite structure over time, as they gain knowledge (and operator 'comfort') with the technology...
