I think we should not overmuch discuss this special topic, as long as we are not working on the story of Eärendil.
May be we should in the moment take the chapter break as Aiwendil suggested and execlud the Lay of Eärendel. The work that was already done on the lay will not be lost. What ever we do know, when we start to compile the story of Eärendil, we have to reconcile it with the end of FoG anyway. So if we ever get there we will see what we need to make a good chapter about Eärendil. Also with both texts at least sketched it is much easier to decised on the right point for a chapter break.
Respectfully
Findegil
