All very interesting observations; please publish a.s.a.p.! Meanwhile, watch 
out for sexual dimorphism in sacral vertebral counts among prosauropods (see 
Galton's recent paper on Sellosaurus, as I recall), although the above seems 
to be a pretty big difference. All major dinosaur groups should undergo 
complete systematic revisions every ten years or so.
