Mudblood Definitions / Generations

I've read in the archives something about the
definition of mudblood, and I have some questions:

First of all, Ron defined mudblood in book 2 as "...a
really foul name for someone who is muggle born [--
you know, non-magic parents]...". And our omniscient
narrator (JKR) said in book 4: Everybody present knew
that 'Mudblood' was a very offensive term for a witch
or wizard of Muggle parentage.

(Bear with me if my reasoning is quite confusing.)

Suppose a mudblood male (e.g. Justin) marries a
mudblood female (e.g. Hermione, may not work out,
though) and they have a child. If the child possesses
magical powers, is he a pureblood or a mudblood? From
Ron's definition we know that a mudblood has non-magic
parents, so that makes the child NOT a mudblood. Is
he/she then a pureblood? Calling him/her half-blood
doesn't seem right. JKR's definition states that a
mudblood must have a muggle parentage. Muggle is
defined as someone without magic. So Hermione and
Justin lose their 'muggleness'. If they are now
wizards (not pureblood though) is any magical child of
theirs a pureblood, then?

What if our two mudbloods have a non-magical child? Is
he/she a squib or just plain muggle? By definition
he/she is a muggle. I don't know what the exact
definition of a squib, though.

Lastly, if two squibs have a child, is the child, by
Ron's definition, a mudblood? If the child is magical,
is he pureblood or still mudblood? If the child has no
magic powers, is he still a. What do we make of
squibs, anyway? Are they considered muggles, by
definition? Are they considered wizards (they still
have the potential for magic -- remember Kwikspell)?
If squibs are muggles, is any nonmagical child of
theirs still a squib?

Follow up: Can muggles learn magic through Kwikspell?
