I suggest that elytra would be repaired with a new item "bat wing" that would drop from bats. It will not only make repairing of such a rare and useful item more challenging (try to kill those little bastards) but would also give a meaning to bats.
The elytra might be repaired completely with 6 bat wings and bats would drop 0-2 wings.
I don't know why you'd want to make repairing it more difficult, considering that without Mending it eventually becomes a worthless item. Bats also don't really need a meaning, given that they're aesthetic.
They already have a meaning. To be at atmospheric mob with no drops. The bat wing's only purpose to exist would be for something you won't get until you reach The End.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

I happened to have a bat wing texture left from an old suggestion so here, have it.
(It's actually just the wing texture for the bat mob... I WAS LAZY OKAY? ;-;)
Here's a neat post that includes (in my opinion) a better way of repairing elytra: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/suggestions/2588594-new-end-mob-end-beetle. I would agree that we need some use for bats, though.

No support. Going out and looking for bats and killing them is not a challenge, it is tedium. It doesn't test your skill. Leather is fine.
