I seem to remember something about tooth isotope analysis, but I'm really not sure. Or was it just a poorly founded hypothesis? In either case I suppose at least spinosaurids would have been somewhat comfortable in water, even if they preferred to go no further than knee-deep.

Otherwise, good article as usual. In reference to the swimming sauropod stuff, I recommend checking out Henderson 2004 ( http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/271/Suppl_4/S180 ).
