Adam, I expect I'll add this pragma as a non-conforming value that just invokes http-state's algorithms. Is there anything special I need to do to hand you a Unicode string representing a cookie, rather than a byte stream as provided by HTTP?

Looks like it just calls through to setting document.cookie:

I think that means you'll eventually need to convert it back to bytes via UTF8.
