While being able to programmatically access the total cookie size could be useful, I think just making it clear to developers on the limitations of this storage method is the most important thing. I can just see a developer trying to store the contents of a large form using the cookieJar plug-in and then not understanding why other code breaks. I've seen developers try and do this in the past with other cookie libraries. Obviously, this isn't your responsibility, but it will generate you support questions. :) -Dan
