I also wrote some manpages on libnetlink, but for some reason they were never merged in the main distribution so you can only find them in the SuSE rpm or at http://www.firstfloor.org/~andi/man/libnetlink.3.gz (source) or http://www.firstfloor.org/~andi/man/libnetlink.3.txt (formatted manpage) Jamal Hadi wrote a ietf draft on netlink. I don't know if it's publicly available (if yes probably somewhere on ftp.ietf.org) it describes quite a lot of basic concepts in netlink/rtnetlink although in a bit foreign to linux terminology. I also did a presentation on netlink and related topics at previous to last year's Ottawa Linux symposium which may be also helpful.
