IMHO the only way we can solve this is to send a meta-data from the calling 
application, something like "Base-URL" and pass this parameter to the 
cookiejar for comparison.

Also another feature for which someone provided a patch a while back was the 
ability to accept all cookies as "session cookies".  IIRC, the person added 
this as one of the radio button options in the cookiejar dialog.  I think 
both you and I rejected the patch at the time for whatever reason I cannot 
recall right now.  This feature also probably appeals to some people as well.
