* Elihu Smails:

Sessions should track the remote IP address of the
client at a minimum

Only if you don't like AOL users.  Load-balanced proxies with
different outgoing IP addresses are common.

so that this problem could go away.

It doesn't, users behind the same proxy can attack each other.

Many programs that I have written have custom
session management that track not only client IP, but
browser, any certificate info and username.

And you put all this data into request parameters?  Wow.
What a waste of bandwidth. 8-)
