Observing the comments here I would have to support it as being an
interoperability issue between other, non Java platforms/languages.
As an example we can put here Resin as Java-PHP interop bridge:
http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=4767

It boils down to supporting array cookies (multidimensional arrays in fact) in
PHP as described in:
http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php#language.variables.external.cookies
http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php#example-3780
http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/php/articlename-050526-1149/

Of course one can put one RFC against another, but fortunately, at least on
different javax.servlet.http.Cookie implementations there are possible
workarounds as in:
http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-10850?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel
http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-10945?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel
advising to use (in some implementations e.g. from javax.servlet-api-3.0.1)
system property defining legacy/backward-compatibility mode:
"org.glassfish.web.rfc2109_cookie_names_enforced" system property

So it seems that the subject still lives, is viable, important and cannot be
just muted by "parse the cookie header yourself".

Cheers,
Krystian
