Main "goals" of dinosaur paleontology in the 21st Century

[Vladimír Socha <Seismosaurus@seznam.cz>]

Good day!
I've been recently thinking a little bit on this matter and decided to make a 
short list of the main future "tasks" of this wonderful science. I'd like to 
hear opinions of the DML members.

1.) Cause of dinosaur extinction

2.) Generally agreed cladogram

3.) Dinosaur thermophysiology

4.) Dinosaur K/T survival

5.) Gaining and extracting dinosaur "soft tissues" (and proteins...)

6.) Keeping the search for the largest sauropod/theropod and an for more 
complete remains for elusive taxa (Deinocheirus, unnamed giant 
Carcharodontosaurid, *Bruhathkayosaurus*, Amphicoelias etc.)

7.) Resolving question for how extensive lineage presented feathery integument 
a synapomorphy.

8.)...?

Thank you for any comment, Vlad
