Comment (by cmlenz):

 Well, for authenticated users, the need to use a session key has been
 removed in [1335]. Settings are simply stored under the username. Is
 ''that'' your point?

 For anonymous users, I don't see many alternatives to the session key. I
 guess we could:
  * Just not expose the session ID and have the user adjust her settings on
 every different computer (which I guess most people do anyway)
  * Masquerade the session ID mechanism behind a registration/login UI
 (which seems a bit silly IMHO)

 Oh, and about using a session ID that already exists: there ''is'' code in
 place to prevent that.
