Support for cookie params and forms with content-type multipart/form-data

Hi,

AFAICS the WADL spec currently says nothing about cookies, and also has
no special support for the form content-type "multipart/form-data" [1].

I'm asking this because JAX-RS (jsr311) defines a CookieParam [2] that
can be used by the REST application. Therefore I wonder how to
"translate" such a CookieParam to WADL.

The question related to the documentation of forms (with
multipart/form-data) just came up on the jersey mailing-list [3].
(Though I'm not sure what would be the preferred documentation style for
multipart/form-data)

Have these topics already been discussed / do you have any feedback?
Is it planned for a future version of WADL to support these things?

Thx && cheers,
Martin
