You definitely still see 2-digit years in Set-Cookie headers, and draft-ietf-http-state-08 says to interpret them as 1969-2068 (presumably allowing for the possibility that people might mistakenly convert 0 to a date in their local timezone rather than UTC). If we're going to say something, it would be nice to be consistent with that. -- Dan
