4. The decision explicitly refuses to provide a comprehensive definition, and defers deciding on the status of children of aliens born on US soil to a later court. That court was, of course, US v. Wong Kim Ark.
5. US v. Wong Kim Ark is the only decision in SCOTUS history that has ever been cited as precedent regarding the definition of natural born citizen.
