In the audio commentary of the special edition FotR, Peter Jackson says there will be no scoring of the Shire. That's as good a source as you are going to get.<P>I agree with others that say they would have been shocked if there was no Grey Havens. I strongly suspect that was always their intention for the ending. It's too powerful to drop. It's either that or end at the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen, have everyone face the camera for a group shot and then start the Star Wars theme.<P>H.C.
