I was thinking of the case of XSS for instance where your code is in
competition with unexpected and malicious code. What I've said before
applies and even against an XSS attack, you can prevent cookie theft as
long as you run first.
I can't see a way for the browser to enforce that trusted code run
before untrusted code.
