What do people think of JrrT's idea in HoME[ X]-Morgoth's Ring of
the abandonment of the "Flat Earth " and the tale Sun and the Moon being an offshoot of the 2Trees
of Valinor ere they died?
Should any revision of theSilmarillion [authorized or otherwise] take these into account or would it be better to retain these older and deeply embedded traditons?
