Oh man, I was wondering what the hell was after the credits. That's awesome.

Hence The Bride being able to bring her sword on the plane with her, walking with it into a Yakuza bar, etc.
As for Elle and Budd, I thought it was set up perfectly. I interpreted it like this: Elle basically fucked everything up by using the Black Mamba on Budd (which I suppose could be symbolic as the Bride taking her revenge on Budd anyway, as it was a Black Mamba, her namesake), but when Beatrix confronted her in the trailer, and plucked out Elle's eye, it was like all the pieces fell in place - the Pupil avenged Pai Mei's death by taking out her other eye, and most likely in the course of flailing around the trailer floor, she got bitten by the Black Mamba - again using symbolism of Beatrix's namesake, as well as the karma of Elle stealing the right of killing Budd from Beatrix. I dunno. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it.

No, I think your analysis was excellent, and the amount of depth was just right.
