you are right, actually I was having a look at that right now :), but 
does it make any sense issuing NF_QUEUE as verdict from an ip_queue user 
space program?

You are right again, you can also issue a NF_REPEAT. Maybe you could 
update that manpage, have a look at the CVS and post a patch to the 
maillist.

no, AFAIK iptables and ip_queue doesn't have a way to interchange 
information between them. If you like, give me more information about 
you want to do, I'll see if I can help you out.
