Hi WG, as David Harrington correctly pointed out, the name "cookie" may be misleading for what we are currently using it. I now suggest that we use an alternate name, just to avoid confusion.
In my view, this is a kind of meta data. So I propose to call it "metadata" or just "meta". I am not sure if this, too can be misleading (meta tags in html), but I have to admit I do not have a better idea. Any comments or suggestions? Rainer
