Hmmm... my reference says that netscape cookies do pass domain info.
The browser presumably just doesn't pass it back due to security
concerns.
Netscape cookies certainly pass more than just the value.
They at least send the path.
As far as I recall (when I was implementing this in GNU-Paperclips)
the problem with netscape cookies is that the order of the modifiers
is fixed and it's a syntax error to have them in any other order.
Thus, unless the servlet engine gets this order corect the cookie
won't be set properly.
The new IETF cookies standard has no such problems but, as you say,
no one seems to be using it.
The only data difference I can see between the two though is the
"comment" and "version" modifier fields. Also the field names seem to
be capitalized (but I can't remember if that is a requirement or
not).
