People using large values just have to ensure that their large sizes is compatible with the involved components. Suggesting that everyone is encouraged to support at least 4kB makes it easier to ensure that if you're below 4kB, it is very unlikely that you'll encounter any issue. BTW, RFC6265 suggests that agents are able to store cookies at least 4kB large, so all this is quite coherent. Basically for common usages, you don't care. For specifically large usages, you'd better check. Till now, you'd have to check whatever the size. Regards, Willy
