Wouldn't they more appropriately be racial bonuses since they are the result of physical changes that the characters is undergoing as s/he evolves from a mere human mortal to an immortal and devastatingly powerful dragon? It seems silly...bordering on stupid...to have bonuses that are clearly a part of the physical growth and development of the character be categorized in such a way so as to prevent actual magical enhancement as through spells or items. Or am I just being greedy?

A skeletal-looking guy could gain enhancement bonuses and become ever more strong, even though his arms are as thin as twigs. In this case a dragon's muscles, and the very frame of his body, increases in density and size, as such the bonuses should be racial.
