<p class=note>Unlike a <a for=/>header list</a>, a {{Headers}} object cannot represent more than one
`<code>Set-Cookie</code>` <a for=/>header</a>. In a way this is problematic as unlike all other
headers `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` headers cannot be combined, but since `<code>Set-Cookie</code>`
headers are not exposed to client-side JavaScript this is deemed an acceptable compromise.
Implementations could choose the more efficient {{Headers}} object representation even for a
<a for=/>header list</a>, as long as they also support an associated data structure for
<p class=note>Unlike a <a for=/>header list</a>, a {{Headers}} object combines the values of
multiple headers of the same name into a single header value. This is problematic for the
`<code>Set-Cookie</code>` header, as unlike all other headers, it cannot be safely combined. Because
of this, there is some special handling for the `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` header in
the implementation of the {{Headers}} interface, just like in the HTTP spec.
`<code>Set-Cookie</code>` headers are not concatenated when they are returned from the {{Headers}}
iterator, and there is a
<code><var>headers</var> . <a method for=Headers lt=getSetCookie()>getSetCookie</a>()</code> method
to retrieve the list of all `<code>Set-Cookie</code>`, ordered and uncombined. This means that
specifically for this header, multiple tuples of the same name can be returned from the {{Headers}}
iterator. Implementations could choose the more efficient {{Headers}} object representation even for
a <a for=/>header list</a>, as long as they also support an associated data structure for
