I like where this string is going. I suspect that the session-id problem can be solved in a more general way, giving Gary the broader abilities he describes. I wonder if there is not an even more general approach that extends from client to server documents--documents may embed cookies and query the client about what cookies it has. The exchangable cookie (we called it tokens/knapsack) idea was discused many hypertext design sessions held by the davenport group. Everyone was excited about the possiblities. Cookie semantics ranged from "have you seen document x" to "do you prefer video" were discussed. Indeed, it seems that this is the start of a client/server agent information exchange protocol. As always, I am looking for more...but I would be delighted with session ids alone. Dave Hollander
