Hmm. This is an interesting idea.
Perhaps the Valar, or Eru, only wanted the Elves to know when the time was right. And with the way the Elves acted/would act over that whole Silmaril debacle (anger seemingly in their blood), it's quite understandable to withhold such information from them. As Mithadan suggested, the Elves might be quite 'miffed'. Why give them so long a time to let that grow?
