<upd_detl>It would simplify the entry, but we should consider that the もの/もん "problem" extends to several entries. Like I've said previously, they're much more common spoken than they are written. I'm not sure we should be hiding them away instead of presenting them as valid alternative pronunciations.</upd_detl>
