No, I don't think that is possible.  Adam's spec reveals a lot of extra
information that "document.cookie" does not return.  For example, it exposes
domain and expiry information.

But, I think your point was that it would be possible to simulate an
asynchronous API on top of a synchronous one.  I agree that is possible, but
it would not perform very well.
