You are certainly correct on both points. I'll probably try to edit it to clarify those points, particularly regarding the maps. I'm glad it wasn't ignoratated! I'm curious to hear more about your idea of Christopher (or anyone else) adapting aspects of Tolkien work to opera, particularly the story of the fall of Numenor. I think it is a very intriguing and potentially excellent idea. I should take this opportunity to mention, though I suspect that you probably know this already, that there was an opera made of the Lay of Leithian a couple of years ago. See here (warning, the website is hard on the eyes).
