Discarding all cookies for a domain isn't an option. In that case, I
could delete all *your* cookies for any domain I want by simply
loading a resource from that host.
I think that the right thing to do is not to support cookies for
cross domain requests. If you need cookies, you have to use primary
server as a proxy.
