The document.cookie API is kind of terrible.  Web developers shouldn't
have to parse a cookie-string or prepare a properly formated
set-cookie-string.  Here's a proposal for an HTML cookie API that
isn't as terrible:

I'd like to propose we include this API in a future version of HTML.
As always, feedback welcome.
