Well, this isn't the case. You see, neither RFC 2109 nor RFC 2965 are perfectly
in synchronization with the implementation of cookies. The best specification
to reference is Netscape's original, because this is what the browsers adhered
to originally, and little has changed since. As mentioned in the PHP manual,
the specification can be found here:

http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

Also, if you will run a quick test, you will observe the behavior I described
in my earlier message. I was not making it up. :-)

Hope that helps.

Chris
