Terribly more important things won't make it into 1.0 because after the mythical 0.9 no new features will be added (stupid imho) because some (irresponsible perhaps?) minds want a 1.0 at all costs, but will be delayed for the sake of a small amount of documentation?
This is not a word processor with a few thousands of features, if you get my drift. If you don't, then...
Users will exhaust what they can do (in terms of features) with abiword pretty easily even without docs
Users will complain of the lack of certain "critical" features that a *final* gold version of a word processor should at least have.
