I'll go for having both versions with xrefs. Since 他人 can actually be read "ひと", they could be merged, but I feel  他人の would usually be たにんの.

  Refs:
prog has 他人のふんどしで相撲を取る in its entry for 相撲, and that gets a fair number of hits too
  Comments:
all my sources have it as 人のふんどしで相撲を取る, but i could go either way.  doesn't really matter to me.  either we should have an entry for both forms in the ref box above or just the current entry.

  Comments:
Any other views? I wondered initially about putting both 人の... and 他人... versions as they account for 95% of hits, but I saw the Eijiro compiler had ふんどしで相撲をとる〔人の〕
twice, so I thought I could get away with one entry.

if omit 人の, whole word is meaningless. this should be 他人のふんどしで相撲をとる or 人の褌で相撲を取る.
