As said above, if it were only for the translation, it might be that we could find other sources more readable. But as one who had read Tolkiens comentary and prose tarsnlation of the Finnsburgh fragment and Episode I hope mostly to see Prof. Tolkiens commentarys to the Beowulf published.

P.S.: About publishing the transaltion him self: I think if there had not been other people that pushed him, we would not even have seen Pearl or Sir Gwain in print during his lifetime.
