Sorry, but, despite the RFC writers best efforts, the newer RFCs are  
almost universally ignored by servers, frameworks, and browsers. When  
I looked a few months ago, even mozilla did not support the new  
cookie RFC. I think Opera is the only browser that does. Netscape  
cookies are unfortunately still the de facto standard.
