Note that RFC 2109 was never widely implemented.  I did an initial
implementation for Lynx in 1996, but compliance with RFC 2109 then had
to be broken in various ways to match existing practice.  For example,
according to RFC2109, it's illegal to set a cookie with a domain of
.yahoo.com from a host named edit.my.yahoo.com, because there's a '.'
in the prefix, but denying people access to their Yahoo pages from
Lynx is rather draconian.
