But remember that it is very easy for the user to turn off or suppress
cookies. My numbers are showing around 1% without cookies. (~.1% have no
javascript, but I think we are skewed a bit on that).

I would rely on javascript before relying on a cookie.

But that is just me

Yes, but SHOULD is not MUST.

All modern browsers do respect the 4KB number though, which is a
decent-sized chunk of data for everything but texboxes. I can think of
situations where It would be useful to persist a form's state into a cookie
and restore it later.
