--- Comment #1 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> ---
RFC2109 says that values are tokens or quoted-values, and whitespace is allowed
around tokens, equals signs, etc. Using value="" seems entirely appropriate.

RFC2109 also says that the cookie value is opaque to the client and only has
meaning to the server. Since the server decided to add the double-quotes, it
should be able to handle the cookie value coming back to it.

Why is this a bug?
