Comment (by michael):

 Replying to [comment:4 myself]:
 > '''Question:''' Do we want to limit requirements to session cookies?
 > '''Background:''' The TB ignores expiry (and other?) HTTP cookie
 parameters.
 >
 '''Errata:''' Actually, the TB is [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6265.txt RFC
 6265] compliant, but the ''Expires'' attribute is ignored unless
 ''network.cookie.lifetimePolicy'' is changed from its default value (2 ==
 ignore persistence.)
 '''Answer:''' Probably yes, leaving this corner case unattended could
 cause subtle problems in runtime or increase maintenance costs.
 >
 > '''Question:''' Are Mozilla requirements applicable (for backporting to
 Firefox ESR?)
 > '''Answer:''' <yes/no?>
