On Goldberry:
She's the River-daughter, as said multiple times. This strikes me as her being
a) Herself (like the 'Tom is Tom' theory...which I agree with)
b) A spirit, embodiment, etc of nature or the river, or something else of that sort.
And Tom?
a) Tom is Tom'
b) Tom is something similar to Goldberry's b, only not of the river.
Either way, it doesn't affect the genius of the story as much as, oh say, Gandalf turning out to actually be a very hairy hobbit on stilts would, so take your pick.
Though I haven't read the books as much as the rest of you have, so that's just my opinion.
Good luck with your...disscusion.
