I didn't think the combination rules ("combinatorial" conjures a much worse
situation) were that bad, but that's a judgement call. Either way, I think
the burden for interpreting them is wholly in the client. Yaron Goland (in
a separate message) stated that the burden on the server, to emit
Set-Cookie2, is minor. And there's no new burden on the server to
interpret Cookie, which remains unchanged.
