At the moment I'm mostly thinking about correcting those issues that I
know off my head. Don't know whether I would find the time to
systematically go through all of them..

the iptables {get,set}sockopt userspace interface is not something we
want to have documented. People should use libiptc (as used by the
iptables command), which is still extremely low-layer anyway.
But I'll probably document the new nfnetlink interface to conntrack,
queue and logging as manpages.
