What if I did have control over the client's machine?
I don't think you get my point. The browser is the client environment. You
didn't write the browser, so you cannot change the way it stores cookies.
More importantly, since there was broad adoption of Netscape's
specification, it is likely a browser sending cookies larger than 4K would
not function as expected with many servers (and conversely, exceeding 4K
with the Set-Cookie header could break some browsers). What you get is a de
facto standard.
