Short: I (would) support it.

Long: As in my opinion the whole topic of secure call flows in SIP is far less 
understood by the majority of the implementors as the majority might think I 
(would) strongly support this document. At least at the last SIPit it was 
very valuable.
I assume the lack of feedback is caused by the fact that everybody just uses 
this document as a reference example to get their own implementations 
running. And the open questions are then direct against the documents which 
are defining the standards but not against this examples.

No.

No.
