>>And let's not forget the fascinating little _Coelurosauravus_, which
supported its gliding membrane on bony rods radiating from the shoulder
region--the closest thing in nature, I should think, to the classical,

Slightly incorrect. The bony rods extend from the shoulder to the hips, like
Draco, the flying lizard.
