As far as I understood, Tolkien wrote the 'Laws and Customs among the Eldar' after the publishing of the LotR, in order to explain some of his protagonists' backgrounds. The only 'Elf-children born in the Third Age that we know of, however, are Elrond's children - and neither he nor his wife were "young" anymore (even for elves).
Does that mean, the birth of Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen was very special (as Arwen had a special role to play), or did Tolkien rather think about the elves of the First Age, when he wrote it?
