Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:

[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/nXjfLd8ba5k
doesn't provide any additional security]. So I'm not sure if we're wasting
our time enhancing its documentation rather than deemphasizing it in the
documentation (or even removing it)?
I know that a browser can ignore this setting and that it doesn't really
provide additional security, but `CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY` is currently
recommended when running `python manage.py check --deploy`. Until it is
removed I think this would improve the docs and avoid confusion when using
it with AJAX.
