I'd be happy for a young Estel to make a brief appearance

KingFish31, I'm going to dissent here from the majority of posters above and confess that I wouldn't mind a tiny, fleeting cameo from a 10 year old Estel.
Where? Well, either in the Ext Ed AUJ during the much-postulated Bilbo-wandering-about scenes or in the final scenes of (the Ext Ed?) TaBA as Bilbo passes through Rivendell once more on his way home.
Why? I think for the overwhelming majority of the audience, it'd be a lovely little touch, one only the more attentive would even pick up on. It's only we obsessives (in a good way!!!) on forums like this that worry about timelines etc. For the average cinema-goer it'd be just another harmless thread linking the two trilogies across the decade...

Actually, I am somewhat against giving Arwen and Aragorn cameos...

I was showing that, while it is possible to bring in Arwen, it could be quite awkward to do so after the company leaves Rivendell. There is no place left for her in Bilbo's story (unless it is during his journey back home), so she would have to be worked into the White Council subplot. With Aragorn, there is the whole debate about his age in the film chronology that would have to be dealt with.
Frodo is only in the framing sequence. Sam (like Frodo) isn't born yet. Child-Denethor can wait for an Aragorn solo-film. No one knew about the winged fell beasts until the mounts of the Black Riders were slain at the Ford of Bruinen. And neither plotline intersects with Fangorn! Let's keep it that way.
The creation of Legolas for LotR makes it inevitable that viewers wonder where he is during the events of The Hobbit. And the intrusion of a new Wood-elf character shouldn't be a problem as long as she doesn't outshine the main characters. The trailer actually makes me less apprehensive over Tauriel.
