I ain't so sure about that dude.
Having no direct mention in the story, with later clarification is used many times by Tolkien.
Want a REALLY good example of what I'm talkin 'bout? Show me where the name Edhellond occurs ANYWHERE in LOTR.
I can use more examples if ya like. The Appendices were to illustrate points that may have been vague in the story, or lacking an explanation; would have slowed the story establishing one. Kinda like the War of the Dwarves and Orcs which is like way appendix material.
Far as I know dude, Olog-hai is original and not a revisional feature.
