I have tried to keep my response as brief as possible.

v0 cookies and '='
I do not see anything in the v0 spec that indicates that '=' is not permitted
in the cookie name - hence the ambiguity. I am open to revisiting this if it
can be shown clearly that the v0 spec does not permit '=' in the cookie name.

v1 cookies
Regardless of one's views of the v1 spec, Tomcat has to support v1 cookies. I
don't see any issues with Tomcat 6's v1 cookie handling in the text above but
if I have missed something, please create a separate Bugzilla entry for it.

v2 cookies
The servlet API only supports v0 and v1 cookies. I am all for adding v2 support
but this would be better handled through the Expert Group (EG).

Servlet spec issues
This are best handled through the EG.

httpOnly
This is in the 3.0 servlet spec and will be supported in Tomcat 7. There are
patches proposed to backport this to 6.0.x and 5.5.x but they need to be
reviewed in light of the 3.0 spec changes to try and keep things consistent.

Strict servlet compliance
See the specification section of
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/systemprops.html

%XX encoding in cookie headers
I did some testing of this when looking at the cookie parsing some time ago and
couldn't get it to work. My tests could have been bad. The wording in the v0
spec for %XX encoding is such that relying on any encoding scheme is going to
be risky - this is one of the issues with the v0 spec.
