No it doesn't.

Mea culpa. I should know better than to test on just one (lame) platform before making a statement like that. It was, unfortunately, the only platform I had immediately available. Sigh.

Uncle Bill seems to have done it his own way, once again.

I agree that the behavior seems to be broken and I'm anything but a defender of the evil empire, but I bet Hanlon's Razor applies in this case. It looks like it may have originated with a poorly chosen example in the original Netscape cookie spec. The example given is:

A domain attribute of "acme.com" would match host names "anvil.acme.com" as well as "shipping.crate.acme.com".
That example is not valid, however, according to the spec it appears in. The very next paragraph begins:
Only hosts within the specified domain can set a cookie for a domain and domains must have at least two (2) or three (3) periods in them to prevent domains of the form: ".com", ".edu", and "va.us".
And that indicates that "acme.com" is not a valid cookie domain attribute.
