+Cookie encoding
+---------------
+
+To fix bugs with cookies in Internet Explorer, Safari, and possibly other
+browsers, our encoding of cookie values was changed so that the characters
+comma and semi-colon are treated as non-safe characters, and are therefore
+encoded as ``\054`` and ``\073`` respectively.  This could produce backwards
+incompatibilities, especially if you are storing comma or semi-colon in
+cookies and have javascript code that parses and manipulates cookie values
+client-side.
