Can the new faster 2015 13" MBA SSDs be placed in a 2015 11" MBA (which according to iFixit does not come with it), or a 2013/14 MBA?

According to ifixit... YES. They took the SSD out of the 13" and put it in the 11" and benchmarked it with good results.

We took the SSD out of our 13" unit, put it in the 11" Air, and benchmarked it.

It worked great! The 11" was just as fast as the stock 13". Perhaps Apple will add this as a build-to-order option. Or you could just swap it out yourself later if you really want the 11" now.
