Yes, I expect that. That's the reason, why I've suggested a change of
the actual name of the header line (to plain "Cookie") - to indicate the
requirement to "slightly" break the http-equivalence. (I've called it
"cookie" to stumble a "too direct" reading, not to suggest any actual
definition - that's to be worked out by the working group).

OK. Yes. Great. But is it possible? I'll be more then willing to help
work it out: cook the phrasing, provide arguments, analyse consequences,
etc.
