It is in section 7.1.1 of the 3.0 early draft. It only applies to the cookie name. Making the url parameter configurable would be non-spec complaint but I don't see a good reason not to allow it if users have a requirement for it.

That depends if the customers had a genuine requirement to change the name (not that I can think of one of hand). If they did then it is more the spec not keeping pace with user requirements. Tomcat has a couple of non-spec compliant configuration options as well.
