a refreshing of the thread

There are a # of interesting points brought up in the thread and I think now might be a good time to revisit some of them.

Keep in mind that the 'group' which we see formed herein later moved there discussion to another thread containing detailed working procedures ["regrouping the rules/rev. silm..."] and is now composed of a slightly modified set of members.

I have changed my mind on the #2 idea and it was a 'strict' reediting that was decided upon by the group.

I have come to think the Ruin of Doriath in the 77 is the only feasible way to go short of really rewriting the section. It is sadly compressed after Turin and Hurin but w/ in the realm of Canon I can see no cure for that and am not sure that a more condensed Turin [77] /Hurin makes the 'RoD' any better. Although it does create a slightly smoother transition.
