Oooh I love a nice bombadil debate. But i agree with obloquy, its absurd the way that anything not immediately obvious is assumed to be a maia or maia hybrid. If Tom is an enigma, then its fairly likely that goldberry is too - perhaps the world hadn't fully taken shape in Tolkien's mind when he wrote "the adventures of Tom Bombadil" and he didn't know what exactly tom, goldberry and Old man Willow were, so that they don't have to conform to the rules of the world he later created. But, much as i hate to say it, we're kinda straying off the topic. Tom and Goldberry would probably have no desire to reproduce, and as for maia, ive got no idea.
