I don't think so, but English is not my native language either.

Some implementations or guidelines suggest putting state information into the request data so that subsequent requests from the same client can be identified.

Yes, that is what I meant.

It would no longer be (pure) REST to me. Think about how your REST clients would have to handle this state, it would make them much more complex.
