Ok, I'll let Bart do the job.

Oh, really?
It seems to me that my last patch added the missing matches and
targets, and that none has been added since (although I remember
having posted a request on netfilter-devel about the possible
inclusion of NETMAP in mainstream kernel and received no answer...).

I just checked my /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/net/ipv4/netfilter and I saw
no match or target available in mainstream kernel (this is what you
mean by "default", am I right?) which is missing in the current
iptables manpage...

However, some new options in existing netfilter modules may well be
missing (I didn't check), if the person who added them didn't provide
any manpage update in his patch, which is of course a very bad thing
(not) to do.
