Good post SwallowedUpInVictory,
I agree that Earendil's primary job as 'messenger' is to carry a message to the Valar. He thereafter, however, is a messenger again, when he sails the heavens as 'Flammifer of Westernesse', a message of hope to Middle-earth.
The same will be true of Frodo, as he is immortalized, not as a star, but in the Red Book of Westmarch.
