Seriously, from what more-knowledgeable people have said it seems that we
have yet to see the full extent of Ryouko's powers and abilities. Just as
an aside, I do think that the tail was part of the outfit (Occam's Razor,
you know ^_^) but I also think that it's fun and helpful to stretch one's
imagination and to explore possiblities. One can be wrong in a colorful and
educational way!

I think someone mentioned that the Official Explication (tm) is that Ryouko
teleports quickly to some other location (Ryo-oh-ki?) where her wardrobe is
stored, then teleports back.

It's sad, but I'm the guy who steps frame-by-frame through Ryo-oh-ki's
transformation from cabbit to spaceship -- so, what do *I* know?  ^_^;;
