Add capability to download your IMDb submission history.

There have been several times where it would be helpful to be able to download my IMDB submission history in some common format (CSV, Tab separated values, etc.) so I can analyze various issues. I would be interested in having such items as the submission ID, links to both the submission and the tracking page (having the submission ID may make these links unnecessary, since they can be created from the ID), the submission date and time (even though that can be pulled out of the ID, it is still good practice to provide the data, since the ID cannot be counted on to stay as it is), the type of submission (add, correct, delete), the data item name, the current submission status, any status message (such as why a submission is denied), and the type of entity the submission pertains to (movie, series episode, TV program, person, etc.). For each type of entity, different types of data may need to be provided. For example, movies may only need to provide a link to the movie and the movie name, while series episodes may need such things as links to both the series main page and the series episode page, and other items such as the series name, the episode title, the episode season number, and episode number. The links to names and titles (i.e., IMDB data pages) can be either the full link, or just the title or name ID (the ID used in a [link=] entry) - since the link can be created from the ID. I don't see a need for the full text of the submission - the purpose of this data is to provide data about the status of the submission, not the submission itself.
