Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 12:39:04 PDT From: Larry Masinter <masinter@parc.xerox.com> Organization: Xerox PARC We can't quite LAST CALL a document which has a technical issue unresolved. The technical issue that's unresolved is the limitation on accepting cookies while interacting with the resource identified by the CommentURL annotating a cookie. I will state my personal opinion, again, just in case there is some additional support for it: I think that the complexity inherent in "CommentURL" makes it suspect, and that the simplest thing to do is to remove it. If there is no CommentURL, then you don't need a policy for accepting cookies while interacting with it. Too much icing on the cookie, just say no. I disagree. Effectively, showing the CommentURL merely involves going to a different page, probably with a different set of cookies. I don't see what's really hard about it. Is there something I'm missing? It is likely that at some point in the future I will implement a UA which will support the CommentURL, and I would like the CommentURL to be available.
