Here's my try at Koen's words about non-conforming user agents. Let
me know what you think.
Therefore, servers should be aware of the capabilities of user
agents when they send complex cookies that use this specification.
If a request is received from a user agent whose behavior with
respect to cookies is unknown, a server can determine its
compatibility with this specification by first returning a simple
non-persistent Set-Cookie response; it should then examine the
Cookie header of any subsequent request. The presence of the
$Version attribute implies conformance with this specification.
