My first reaction to all this is: Can you really create a useful spec
for HTTPOnly cookies without first creating a spec for cookies? I.e. as
far as I know there is no useable spec out there for how to parse
HTTPOnly cookies at all, so it'd seem hard to detect what a HTTPOnly
cookie is.

That said, having a spec for cookies as well as HTTPOnly cookies would
be great. However I think that you should try to as soon as possible
bring the work to any of the existing organizations, such as IETF or WHATWG.
