Subject: [Tools-discuss] Regarding individual submissions to a working group

Take http://tools.ietf.org/wg/opsawg/ as an example. I note that the internet drafts considered are working group (draft-ietf-<wg>-*) drafts. In most working groups, we also have individual submissions to the wg (draft-<name>-<wg>-*), which are contributions at an earlier stage but of interest to the working group. These are pointed to by the datatracker page for the WG, but in a very different place that I don't find very convenient. It would be nice, from my perspective, if the tools page could list 

outdated individual submissions 
	draft-<name>-<wg>-* but older than the previous IETF meeting date

current individual submissions
	draft-<name>-<wg>-* and newer than the previous IETF meeting date

working group drafts
	draft-ietf-<wg>-* and not in the IESG (replaces current "active drafts")

and then other statuses as they currently exist
