Aside from making sure the proper boilerplate is included in documents it 
publishes (which it pretty much has to do for legal reasons), the IETF 
secretariat generally does not check submitted I-D's for conformance with 
standards for submissions.  To do otherwise would not only be expensive and 
slow down the I-D submission process considerably; it would also interfere 
with the IETF process.  Internet-Drafts are works-in-progress; it is not 
necessary or even desirable that every I-D be in a form suitable for 
submission to the IESG before being added to the repository.
