My Note that there is no y2k problem with only using a 2 digit year, since there are well defined semantics for it. People have been using cookies with two-digit expiriation dates after y2k for quite a while now. You also have to be careful generating cookies to be sure that you don't generate ones that conform to specs but aren't accepted by implementations.
