From some time in 2010 they will be linked by DLR - which is probably better
than a shuttle bus or walking, especially through a building site.

and it would have been far from trivial to get the Jubilee Line under the
GEML and to a terminus at Stratford International. I'm not sure, even when
it had been decided that the CTRL would take the Stratford route, with a
station there, that the exact location of Stratford International had been
decided. ISTR suggestions that it would be closer to Stratford Regional so
that connections between the two wouldn't need a travolator/long
walk/shuttle bus/ DLR.

Erm, isn't that exactly what they're doing with the DLR? It will go
from Stratford LL (from what are currently the NLL platforms, right
next to the Jubilee) to Stratford International.

At the time there was no plan to truncate the NLL at Stratford, so the
existing hole under the GEML, now used by the NLL and to be used by the DLR,
would not have been available for the JLE. The JLE would have needed a new
tunnelled route under the GEML, with underground stations at Stratford
Regional and Stratford International.
