I'm happy to admit that Yngve's solution, if it ever got up and running,
would be a good one. (Although it's worth noting that such a service

doesn't exist.

No. What do you think they'd say that hasn't been said in this thread
already?

We've had this basic problem in the ___domain of cookies for years. I don't
