I can't give out the URLs because they're private LUGNET-admin pages, but
one that you could test which uses the same cookie-storage code is this:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
My guess is: If a website named www.foo.com sends a cookie labled .foo.com,
that Opera mistakenly thinks it's a mismatch (it's not) and doesn't send the
cookie back to the server. (Again, this is just a guess.)

That was my first thought, so I ran the code through Imagiware's "Doctor
HTML" weblinter <http://www2.imagiware.com/RxHTML/> and then through W3's
validator <http://validator.w3.org/> and both parsed the <DL> lists
correctly. So I figured it must've just been some weird bug in Opera.
But now that you mention it, the <DT> tags aren't being closed explicitly.
Of course, <DT> tags (and many others such as <DD>, <TD>, <LI>, etc.) don't
need to be closed explicitly, so Opera has a bug in its HTML parser if it
requires that. It's possible that Opera is also confused by the existence
of <DT> without an accompanying <DD>, but it's more likely that the parser
is just broken a bit.
