thank you for submitting these patches!

As far as I can tell, there aren't.  It's just that many of the patches 
require some attention (like cross-checking the documentation) before 
merging, none of them appear to be critical, and context switches take 
nontrivial effort.  So I postponed them until the next time I'd be working 
on the codebase anyway, which for various reasons has not happened yet.

If you need them merged in a timely fashion, please let me know, and I'll 
prioritize allocating time for that.

Roland
