I tested it in
IE 7 (Medium Security), that has an IFRAME which loads another page from
the same server that contains the embedded WAYF. This will display the
right entry that only will be displayed if the cookie also is being sent
to the central WAYF that generates the .js file that is loaded.
I also tested this on another host in a different domain and this also
seems to work.

If you mean Medium privacy, that level blocks third-party cookies under a
variety of circumstances. It's hard to see how you could get around that if
you're dealing with a second domain.

Distributing a P3P policy file got me around this issue of third-party cookies.
