I would prefer to use checksum and cookies in parallel rather than have
the checksum option recapitulate cookie functionality, though.  Unless I'm
overlooking something, the NONCE field in Mukund's proposal becomes
unnecessary if cookies are in use. Otherwise it seems like a very good
idea.

(It's a pity there's no version field in the COOKIE option format;
COOKIE version 1 could have been extended to include a checksum.)
