AFAIK it is only the Cookie header that is different. All other users
the standard comma separated form... (RFC2616 2.1 #rule).

There may hoever be a need to extend the element syntax with a pattern
for only extracting a part of the element. Also needs to be considered
what to output if the element is without a value.. I think I will use +
to indicate that the element exists but has no value.

I have not yet started considering Squid configuration requirements, but
your suggestions seems to be quite valid.
