Google CDN setting up Cookies, why?

Question

Isn't this sort of a thumb-rule? Shouldn't this be served from a cookie-less domain?

Serve the following static resources from a domain that doesn't set cookies:

    * http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

Anyone know any alternative URL that Google would use to by-pass the Cookies?

Edit: To anyone seeing this page. The issue was a Firefox/Firebug crazyness. As soon as I cleared the cache all went back to normal.

Answer 1

In the few clients I tried, this is all that came back in the response headers. You are seeing cookies being set in the response?
