Daijr, etc. point にっぽん to にほん.
  Comments:
I'd say it's more formal, which often means it's used in more nationalistic contexts. I feel a note about that would be more of a clutter than anything really useful. Any other views?

My teacher mentioned that the にっぽん reading often gives off a nationalistic overtone. Is it worth adding a note? Could be helpful.
