My bad, I was thinking of URLs <https://url.spec.whatwg.org/> .  But my
point stands in general, as I think the issues with various interpretations
of cookies are very similar to the URL issues that drove the creation of a
whatwg spec.  So before any respecification effort on Cookies in the IETF,
that there is a explicit effort to engage the whatwg to ensure that they
will follow such a RFC and not go their own way as they have with URLs.
