Right, but are there any active cookie standards that can be amended?
7 /12 year old standards are not very valid or useful in the fast-moving
internut world.

The standard is only 7 1/2 years old;

1 - Cookies aren't included in RFC2616 at all.
2 - Hardly any implemenations of cookies follow any recent attempts to
document how cookies should be handled so I doubt writing yet
another
cookie spec update will help much.
Given the history of cookies so far, they are doomed to be adhoc'ed
and work
in a random undocumented fashion... (unless you count the original
Netscape
cookie document a specification)."
Ouch. Is this true?
