I've never received a YUI bug report about this occurrence though I have considered returning an array of values instead of just the first value in this case. I might just go do that now. :)

You can choose to solve the duplicate cookie name issue in a number of ways, but not providing a way to access a cookie by name seems like a flaw in this design.

Done.  I've made the API return the first cookie that matches the
specified name.  If a web developer wants to get all the cookies, I've
added a getAllCookies() API.
