Yes, indeed, but as you have heard it is being worked on, so expect it
to show up sooner or later.  Meanwhile, as Luca explained, the
depackatization will follow a very similar logic to the one described
in the RFC for Vorbis RTP, so instead of creating different
implementations programmers are invited to study that RFC plus Theora
RTP's draft (while its own RFC is not available).

Also useful for those who wish to use audio alongside Theora but
require something more optimized for voice, you should look into the
Speex RTP spec, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-avt-rtp-speex-05
soon to become an RFC as well.

Not so cool.

Thank you.  That's very good to hear.

There's also some code available in https://svn.xiph.org but I am not
sure how useful it is at the moment.
