When I first looked at Zope, this was one of

I've been diappointed that "Help" sometimes
falls into this category.  (I don't have a
reference at hand for this, but I encountered
it within the past couple of months.)

I'd love to see the "optional" status
exteded to cookies.  It's a pain to be unable
to set management textarea sizes or do cut
and paste just because I don't use cookies.
It's not like the server doesn't know who I
am.  Can't it just store my info instead of 
relying on setting it in every browser I use?

I am thrilled that Zope has as little
reliance on JavaScript and cookies as it does.
