It was suggested that the name "cookie" is misleading. The term cookie most prominently is used for web browsers and thus may lead to confusion. We are looking for an alternate name. The suggested name so far is "meta-data". This issue was solved in draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-01.txt. It now is called "structured data (element)".
This issue was created by a discussion post from David Harrington and also by one from Anton Okmianski.
Status: solved
