I agree with that with one exception. This is not a general case, it's a use
case where the (sub) context disables cookies and is expecting to use URL
rewriting. The presence of the (ROOT) cookie forces a new session on each
request since the URL rewriting is always overriden by the cookie, thus making
the (sub) context unusable.

Mixing cookies and URL rewriting is okay when the ROOT context doesn't use
cookies (ie: /subA uses cookies, and /subB uses URL rewrite). Thought it would
be easier to make the patch since this use case seems like a bug. See my comment
#3 for additional reference.

More workarounds that I thought of are:
* create a host listening on a separate port. However this port may get blocked
by firewalls since it's not port 80.
* setting up a separate domain and use URL rewriting just in that domain.
* don't use cookies at all. Not my favorite.

I just don't want other people to experience the trouble that I had.

If the decision is still a WONTFIX, then please add a note in the docs for the
cookies attribute for Context that URL rewriting won't work for sub contexts if
the ROOT context uses cookies.

thanks.
