Whoa!!  Back up the truck!

I think I disagree.

 : When using iptables, packets that are "traversing" the linux box
 : (forwarded trafic) do not go thru the INPUT and OUTPUT chains.

The KPTD hosted on docum.org certainly does accurately reflect the
traversal of iptables.  Please send corrections if you find something
wrong with the KPTD.  This was a collective effort by Leonardo Balliache,
Stef Coene, and some others on this very list.

It doesn't depict the relationship between iptables and bridging, but that
is a well-known exception to this diagram.

This is a fine picture, too, though, Ron.
