[Ilie] This is not possible according to the following RFC and IG statements:

RFC, page 20: Optional parameters can only occur at most once in an SUA message.

IG, page 11:
2.7.  Parameters should only occur once in a message
2.7.1.  Description of the problem

   Parameters in SUA messages can be repeated as many times as possible.
   This would lead to inconsistencies, such as 2 or more destination
   addresses.

Due to this text it is not possible to include Multiple Destination
and Source addresses in the RK parameter either.
That's why I think text improvements  would help.

[Ilie] I will think about it.
