  There's also some cookie support in Grail (limited); that uses a
Netscape-style client-side database.
  Note that the Netscape format is insufficient for the most recent
cookie specifications (don't know the RFC #), but I understood from
AMK that browser writers are expecting to actually implement that
(unlike RFC 2109).  If we stick to an in-process database, that
wouldn't matter, but I'm not sure if that solves the problem for
everyone.
  Regardless of the format, there's a little bit of work to do here.
