That bit always makes me kind of "argh, Peter David." I used to think he was hilarious when I was in my teens. Now, he just sort of makes me headdesk. But yeah, I agree with the interpretation that could have have well been her body being like "OH HAI, YOU CAN HAZ BABY." Which is funny considering how shocked both Franklin and Sheridan seemed by the possibility, when it happened.
I assume she's half-and-half as well for pretty much the same reasons. And really, all she's got left is the lacking eyebrows and the improbably-coiffed crest, in terms of visible features, so I figure that's okay. The balance thing is a bit odd, though, yeah - Sinclair really did look pretty much Minbari. That's one clever machine to know exactly how much of each species it needs to make each person look.
