One of the biggest deficiencies in HTTP/1.x is the lack of a "session"
concept, which lead to the Cookie-Hack with all its pessimizing and
privacy-violating issues.

Even if used right (one cryptosigned session-identifier, all actual
data stored serverside) it has the sideeffect of blanket disabling
caching.

HTTP/2.0 should do better.
