Re: Principles of editing the Silmarillion

A new point to consider for the principles.
~ JRRT almost certainly would have changed it.
examples. Mechanical dragons, hosts of Balrogs, 'Legolas' in Gondolin.
Much has already been worked on from different angles, but I think this subjective ut realistic principle, cuts through a bit o red tape.

re; no introduction of 'new' elvish names , it seems to be too conservative in the light of all the other editing going on. I would certainly like to put the specific examples and even the whole idea before Elfling once we are readyy for the possibility/probability of CRRT getting wind [i.e. not yet] but I think leaving the gate open for it is ok. Anyone else.
I am kind of suprised we are not hearing from the other 6 or so members on this... Mithadan,Tar Elenion, Pengolodh, Mr, Underhill, Telchar &co.....Helloooooo
