Comment:

 On closer inspection RFC2616 does not seem to condone this practice, the
 controlling definitions are:
 {{{
 [2.2]
        CTL            = <any US-ASCII control character
                         (octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)>
        [...]
        token          = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>
        separators     = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
                       | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
                       | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
                       | "{" | "}" | SP | HT

 [4.3]
        message-header = field-name ":" [ field-value ]
        field-name     = token
 }}}

 Considering that ing.dk has had problems with their login system, and
 cookies have been first suspect, I'll close ticket again, having sent them
 a hint via email about it.
