Currently no way exists to set site-specific policies other than editing a preferences file. Need a UI for this.
Guess on target milestone date...

As a first step, we need a mechanism for maintaining (storing, retrieving, testing, removing, adding) site-specific permissions. The coding in nsCookie.cpp which previously handled site-specific cookie policies has now been generalized to handle all site-specific permissions.
Steve, I'd like to integrate site-specific capabilities storage with the cookie code as well, if possible. Some refer to a site (an URL) and some to a certificate...will I be able to store per-certificate policies in your cookie storage as well?
No, the mechanism as I set it up is for site-specific information only. But of course you could make the certifite look like a pseudo-site and then use the mechanism as I implemented it. Or you could modify the mechanism.
I don't think we'll have time to do this for beta2.
