can libnetfilter_conntrack be used to write a userspace connection tracker?

I'm working on a connection tracker for a RPC-like protocol (over TCP).

I believe that by inspecting packets using nfqueue, and
creating/destroying expectations using nfconntrack, I can do a
connection tracker in user-space.

In order to remove nfqueue from the mix, I've been looking at the
conntrack code, trying to figure out whether even notifications about
connection status can include the TCP data that I need to inspect, the
data that's in the skbs provided to kernel module conntrack helpers. I
haven't been able to be certain what libnfconntrack can/cannot do, but
it seems outside of the usage that the command line tools and
conntrack daemon need, so I suspect its not possible.

Can somebody confirm my suspicions?

Thank you.
Sam
