I misread the Netscape spec. The semicolons are separating attributes from one another (just like the RFCs), not cookies from one another. Further, a quick look at some servers I have available shows that Expires is commonly used. So much for IETF standards! I will add proper handling of this comma to the CVS code shortly.
Thanks.
