	4.5 has both behaviors. If you go to forums.macnn.com first, and 
reject cookies there, you still get the opportunity to accept them at 
www.macnn.com or the ones from macnn.com.
	I believe that if you reject the ones from macnn.com first, then by 
default www.macnn.com, etc will be rejected too. My guess would be that 
this is carried forward to 5.0, with the nice addition that you can 
manually adjust them more easliy after the fact. My only worry is that 
in cases like the macnn.com cookie (attached to a image in this case) 
might be tough to find. In this case it would not matter (it is just a 
marketing tracking cookie), but I can foresee cases where this could 
cause problems.
