Presumably cookie scope would also be same origin

Presumably, but very often not in fact. In the Set-Cookie: header you can
specify a broader scope for cookies, and people often do.

But it would not help the attacker to set a broader scope. The attacked would have to set a broader scope - assuming he is following the standard measures to avoid cookie fixation.

It is standard to set your cookie scope for the entire website, if you control the entire website. If your web page is appearing on tahoe, you do not.

So a local service that mapped all *.tahoe domains to the same IP would enable same origing protection between tahoe documents.
