Continuous rate descents rather than the 'stepped' descents currently in use would be one of the methods I'd have thought - a long descent from cruise at a low power setting, rather than descend a bit, fly level at low altitude (therefore burning more fuel than equivalent flying at higher altitude) and descend a little bit more.

A 500kg fuel saving for a MEL-SYD flight seems pretty impressive.

500KG is very impressive. Even a saving of 200KG per flight multiplied out by the number of flights accross the world daily, thats a hell of a reduction.
