I remember either a mailing list discussion or maybe just IRC but I explained then that JS won't do this. Cookie management is done by the browser and there are strict limitations by domain. There are JS APIs already for creating, modifying and deleting cookies but the app can only modify cookies with the same domain. There is no need for a separate API for this in JS since it would just seem silly to JS devs.
