Details

The following xml document shows "undefined" for document.cookie:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<html:script language="JavaScript">
alert(document.cookie);
</html:script>

</root>

This works okay in Internet Explorer (once given a style sheet).
If you have an XML document, then the 'document' object will be a 'Document'
DOM interface. If you have an HTML document, then the 'document' object will
be implicitly cast to am 'HTMLDocument' interface.

Only the 'HTMLDocument' interface has the 'cookie' attribute.

Thus, marking INVALID. This is one of my first excursions into the DOM specs,
feel free to reopen if I am mistaken...
