I tried to enter it in the submission form, but the system couldn't find the
individual draft, I don't know why. May I ask our friendly chairs for help?

Right. And even if somebody happens to use the stylesheet again in the future,
the result should still correspond to the most recent update of the registry -

There is a bunch of other registries on the DNS Parameters page, and more are

Being another non-native speaker, I am open to suggestions.

OK, noted.
