I used URI session variables previously where cookies were not 
available. It occurs to me that if the are being used to have separate 
sessions for each tab or window then the security issues could be 
eliminated by making the session a combination of a cookie (fixed for 
all windows/tabs) and the URI parameter (different for all windows/tabs).

I still don't know how to ensure each new window/tab gets it's own 
unique session in the URI however?
