I do not know if we have pondered substituting a Quenya for [obsolete] noldorin before. It is out on a limb, but could be at least partially justified in that Idril may well have used Q. for a close circle secret.
Replacing Noldorin with Quenya would, in my eyes, remove a little of the history and evolving culture of the Elves. This is not to say that it is a complete no-no, but rather a taboo. We could toss around the idea of putting both, or add footnotes. Just an idea.

As for the poll(s): sound like a good idea to get an idea on where everone stands(if we don't know already) and put things into perspective, or in a clearer format.
