Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

It would be better to raise an exception* upon receiving a cookie. On the other 
hand, I presume cookies are stored in files that any process can mess with, so 
reading failures are always a possibility. So if you want to catch a (very 
rare) failure, to do something useful, then you should do so.

*My preference versus silent rejection. But I do not do web programming.

Unless the current doc says something I missed, I think either change from the 
current 'store anything' policy would be a feature request. This is assuming 
that current behavior is unchanged from 2.5.
