Other list participants were warning about the possibility of people abandoning Firefox in droves if there were cookie-related problems caused by its use of public suffix list. You, on the other hand, are suggesting that we can just make changes to the way cookies work and expect broken sites to fix themselves. These seem to be two irreconcilable views of the future. Long history and experience has shown us that we can't just break people's websites like that. Gerv
