Action item: CR313 (cookie advice)
At the F2F, some people wanted to check if various proxy/cluster systems 
can implement the guidance. Here is the guidance.

"However, since such reprocessing usually incurs additional processing 
and network overhead, Producers are encouraged to process the request as 
usual and return new cookies along with the response. Consumers MUST 
process and resupply such cookies as per Section 3.11."

AFAIK, this guidance is inline with how various cluster/proxy systems 
behave. Depending on how load-balancers are setup, they eigher create a 
new cookie when a request without a cookie is detected, or modify the 
cookie set by a application server node to include some form of node 
identifier.

This is a reminder for folks to check with their teams.

Regards,

Subbu
