That's a very interesting question Grey, if it had come to that, they may have, but Mandos knows all fates within the Great Music, so they may have already knew the outcome. In the Silmarillion, right before Melkor destroyed the Two Trees, all the Valar and some of the Elves were having a festival, Mandos made a statement that to the effect that never had anyone in Valinor had ever been slain until then. He knew that Finwe would be killed and the Trees destroyed before it happened. Only with Manwe's permission could he ever reveal what he knew.
