That's an excellent point and I'll keep it in mind.  For my current app,
I don't need to know much about a session other than as a way to tell
that one request is from a different person than another.  Even then,
it's fairly generic and anonymous (i.e. think user preferences rather
than shopping carts)

True, you give up automatic URL handling.  But for some apps, that's a
worthwhile trade-off without going the full RESTful route (at least as
described in the Seaside book)
