Rob, Ben, Jeremey,

Thanks for your quick replies.  I guess I can sleep easy; it looks
like the unintentional cookie problem problem will be gone by the time
draft-ietf-http-state-mgmt-03.txt starts being deployed.

Browsing the apache site, I did find something about mod_cookies, but
I could not find any information about the place of this module in the
bigger picture.
