With plain HTTP, cookieless domains were an optimization to avoid unnecessarily sending cookie headers for page resources.
However, the SPDY protocol compresses HTTP headers and in some cases eliminates unnecessary headers. My question then is, does SPDY make cookieless domains irrelevant?
Furthermore, should the page source and all of its resources be hosted at the same domain in order to optimize a SPDY implementation?
