OK. Proposed patch:
(<http://www3.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/attachment/ticket/129/i129.diff>):
at the end of 4.2:
Note: the "Cookie" and "Set-Cookie" headers as implemented in
practice (as opposed to how they are specified in [RFC2109]) can
occur multiple times, but do not use the list syntax, and thus can
not be combined into a single line. (See [Kri2001] for details.)
Also note that the Cookie2/Set-Cookie2 headers specified in
[RFC2965] do not share this problem.
