The rules for parsing and setting the cookies are different. Server should 
always produce strict cookies only. So the production rules are to be done 
accordingly to the specification.

Adam Barth is working right now on an update of the  "HTTP State Management 
Mechanism" specification. See 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie

The name production rules are still defined in RFC2696

What browsers ignores or not in characters depends from browsers to browsers. 
(IETF server is down right now, and I can't link to the appropriate section for 
parsing the values.)
