Gerald L. Despain's not does not appear to have reached me either. We had a power failure which may have killed the mail router at the critical moment :-( >2. How are we defining a user-id. A random number is not guaranteed to >be unique so ones has to be provided. Is that id supposed to be site >unique or global. The session ID draft uses very long collision resistant hashes to create the session id. Normally one would not expect to see a duplicate session ID until 2^64 had been generated, or fout billion ids for each person on the planet. Since 2^64 is the largest memory address space currently in standard use I don't think the theoretical possibility of error is significant. Phill
