    That certainly would make *me* happy.  I'd actually like a third
    option: silent [non]acceptance based upon server/domain.  I routinely
    refuse doubleclick's cookies, and would like to have that automatic
    henceforth, but there are some servers from which I always accept
    cookies - and I'd still like the option of accepting them from other
    locations on a case-by-case basis.

    But it's unclear to me whether this is within the scope here..
