Please send comments to the authors. However, in response to the
query:

  > Do you believe the latest draft addresses the issues of cookie privacy
  > that were recently discussed on www-security?

the response was:

> I think I've persuaded most people that the remaining issues are not
> with the protocol but with the user interface.  (That is, the UA must
> give a user sufficient control over the disposition of sessions and
> cookies.)

which I believe is a satisfactory response.
