Tom, Rhys, thanks for testing this. We seem to have three different experiences using Tor Browser for accessing the IETF web site. I suppose this can have approximately as many explanations as there are permutations of operating systems, browsers, browser plugins and phases of numerous moons. I think that the productive way forward from here is to open an issue with the service provider, CloudFlare. I'm happy to provide end user experience information in such a case.
