The cottage of Lost Play, would only mean a lot of editing, and then I mean a lot.
We had a vote on the Ainulindalë, regarding Rúmil, Pengoloð and Ælfwine. It was decided that the references of Ælfwine would not be used because he seemed to be discarded in the later mythology.
Using the Cottage of Lost Play, in our Silmarillion, would cause IMO a great deal of trouble. It would be impossible to reconcile with what we are trying to do.
