I've got the following responses:

I'm not sure if this would help very much!
I think MathSoft is very busy with other things at the moment
instead of having time to correct known bugs, or in this case,
lack of documentation.

I'm sure that not many S-Plus users will follow this approach,
i.e. stepping through the source code of S-functions when they
are looking for help.
In addition, render.trellis has almost 500 lines of code but at
least there are some useful comments.

I don't want to start a controversy against Trellis but I think
it would help many users to use Trellis functions much more
efficiently if such things were better documented.
