It's still at an interim state, but I think it's getting to the point where it will be generally useful.
I did a bunch of minor reformatting, and took a several of your responses and translated them into the main thread, removing the back-and-forth: I don't think the discussion is as valuable as a clear statement of the design.
I have a big, sloppy mess of a system involving at least one additional readtable, that breaks under the syntax-control branch. That's going to be my test case for forcing myself to understand this.

I pushed more modifications to the doc/syntax-control.txt in the syntax-control branch.
I believe the plan B should be clearly separated from the plan A and clearly marked as not implemented and not intended to be implemented.

I have made that change, and also put in pointers to the discussion of readtable binding in the hyperspec (for those reading as org-mode).
I have *not* gone over the discussion of the actual design again; I wanted to restrict myself to this big restructuring in one commit.
