I think we could probably do a new release. There's enough new stuff
that warrants it. There are two concerns though: 1) From what I can tell
the new user-defined styles have not seen wide public testing (then
again, they probably only will once we cut a release) and 2) Christian
Waldvogel tells me that his tables for German grade2 are more or less
ready for review, so it might be good to review and include them in the
new release.

What do you think is missing in the documentation?

I have to admit I don't quite understand what you are asking for. I'm
perfectly fine with merging your branch back to trunk. I'm also fine
with making a new release. However if you are saying that there are some
bugs that we know now and that these should be fixed in subsequent
releases then I don't agree. If we know the bugs now then I think we
should fix them now. If you are saying that there will be probably bugs
(that are currently not known) then I'm fine with fixing them in
subsequent releases.

If you'd just like to work on some new features then it would probably
be best to add a new branch off trunk once I merged everything back. If
you like I could even take care of the release itself (i.e. make dist,
upload and announce).
Thanks
