Not yet, clearly.  What are you going to do to get them discussed?

That is the least effective way to get your issues handled.

First, you are *demanding* something, and that always makes people less
interested in helping you.

Second, you want a "single complete and through reply", which means that
if someone doesn't feel like doing all the work to do that, they won't
bother to do any of the work.  That is, it minimizes the chance that
you'll get any response at all.

A better approach would be to select one problem, the one you think
other people are most likely to recognize as a problem, and ask about
it.  Also, add whatever discussion you can provide, to indicate that
you've done as much work on the problem as you can before asking others.

It seems to me this one would be a good one to start with:

> What about my questions regarding the 'source' and 'ssrc' parameters? Those

Note that while RFC 2326 talks about a 'source' parameter, it doesn't
provide any BNF for it.  Suggest that it probably has the same BNF as
the 'destination' parameter.  Show that BNF.  Show all the examples of
source parameters that you know of (mention what devices generate them),
compare them to your suggested BNF.  Add your discussion of security
questions.

Once you've solicited as much feedback as you can get, organize all that
information into a well-written errata for the RFC.

Then go on to the next issue.

http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=2435&rec_status=15&presentation=table

All of your errata on RFC 2435 have status "reported", so it appears the
answer is "no".
