Live birth also occurs in a variety of non-mammalian species; thus it is not a diagnostic characteristic for class Mammalia.
It should be noted that the current trend in taxonomy is to emphasize common ancestry; the diagnostic characteristics are useful for identifying this ancestry, but if, for example, a cetacean were found that had no hair at all, it would still be classed as a mammal.

 Mammal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phylogenetically, Mammalia is defined as all of the descendants of the last common ancestor of monotremes (e.g., echidnas) and therian mammals (placentals and marsupials).
It should be noted that the current trend in taxonomy is to emphasize common ancestry; the diagnostic characteristics are useful for identifying this ancestry, but if, for example, a cetacean were found that had no hair at all, it would still be classified as a mammal.
The McKenna/Bell hierarchical listing of all of the terms used for mammal groups above the species includes extinct mammals as well as modern groups, and introduces some fine distinctions such as legions and sublegions (ranks which fall between classes and orders) that are likely to be glossed over by the layman.

 The Pelvis in the Mammalia and the Origin of Mammals (1879)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The main change in the pelvis is, in fact, effected by the extraordinary elongation of the pubes and the ischia, and their rotation backwards and upwards; while, at the same time, the symphysial union of the bones of opposite sides altogether disappears.
In fact, we are led to the construction of a common type of pelvis, whence all the modifications known to occur in the Sauropsida and in the Mammalia may have diverged.
It is only in them that the articular element of the mandibular arch remains cartilaginous; while the quadrate ossification is small, and the squamosal extends down over it to the osseous elements of the mandible; thus affording an easy transition to the mammalian condition of these parts.

Live birth also occurs in a variety of non-mammalian species, such as guppies and hammerhead sharks; thus it is not a distinguishing characteristic of mammals.

 Mesozoic Mammalia - GCR block
In contrast to the manner in which most invertebrate fossils are represented in the GCR, fossils of vertebrates, arthropods (except trilobites) and terrestrial plants do have their own dedicated GCR Blocks, because of the relative rarity of the fossil material.
The GCR sites selected for the Mesozoic Mammalia GCR Block represent the British fossil record of mammals from the emergence of the group in the Triassic Period (which ranged from about 200 to 130 million years ago (Ma)), through the remainder of Mesozoic Era (ending 65 Ma); the fossil record for Cainozoic times (i.e.
Some commentators have restricted the term ‘Mammalia’ to the immediate ancestors of modern mammals only, hence excluding many Mesozoic groups traditionally called mammals, but in the GCR the traditional definition is used, thereby the Mammalia are defined by the switch from an articular—quadrate jaw joint to a dentary—squamosal jaw joint.
