It's probably better referring to the cookies RFC 
(ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2965.txt) rather than a very old article 
(http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/i-034.shtml).
The RFC doesn't mention anything about numbers of dots and specific domains.

Although it's all definitely a security risk, there's no way all vendors would 
change the mechanism without keeping backwards compatibility, it would cause 
chaos.  So with my sites I always put a checksum in the cookie data, which 
allows the website to be certain no clients have altered the data manually.
