You missed this in soup-cookie-jar.c:

	/* FIXME: sort? */

Adam's explanation of cookie sorting is *exactly* the sort of
information I was hoping to get out of this group. Our goal (as I
understand it) is to document the facts of cookies in the real world.
It's a fact that all major browsers sort cookies the same way. It's a
fact that some web sites depend on this. So we document it, and I get to
remove a FIXME, and WebKitGtk works with a few more sites than it used to.

Be liberal in what you accept (clients MUST accept all date formats,
servers MUST accept cookies in any order) and conservative in what you
send (clients MUST send cookies in the recommended order, servers MUST
send dates in the recommended format).
