https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-leave-secure-cookies-alone-01 I realize that we haven't discussed this at all, but it seems like a no-brainer to me. That is, if someone (Mike?) has a satisfactory answer to this question: do you know what level of breakage is this going to cause? I have heard that this misfeature is relied upon by some non-trivial number of sites. For me, as long I can be satisfied that the breakage is extremely low, or that it will soon be, then that's sufficient. However, a non-trivial amount of bustage will likely prevent us from deploying a change like this. The authors of the paper recommended that non-secure cookies be simply given less precedence, so that they could not override cookies set by their secure brethren. That seems far less likely to cause compatibility issues. But I do prefer the change in the draft, if it can be made to stick. Either way, I'd support working on neutering this class of attacks.
