It would be a pleasure for me to dedicate more than a few minutes to help 
the IETF as long as I do not need to enable javascript in my browser to do 
it. Sadly the page above requires it to the point that the browser just 
shows the message: "Javascript is required to load this page."

I'll be glad to fill out any IETF survey if it can be done without javascript.

In case it is useful, I answer here your questions.

1) What tools and formats you use for authoring IETF Internet Drafts (I-Ds)?

   I use a text editor to write the draft in plain text format.

   I use the idnits tool offline (not through a webpage) to check the draft. 
http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits

   I use the Internet Draft Submission Tool to submit the draft. 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/submit/

2) How do you use them and what more you need from them.

   Both tools are straightforward to use, and I think they fulfill all my needs.


Best regards,
Antonio.
