The major issue is that I need to be able to unqiue identify a BROWSER
instance. I don't know how to handle when two browser windows share
the same session data. This was a surprise when I realize that this is
what happens. I suspect too that it is also the soure of many
potential bugs for existing web apps.

This is how your web browser works (I assume IE) so unless your browser
send some sort of unique identifier... you're SOL.

How about if you load a Java/ActiveX/Javascript applet in the background
which generates a session identifier (i.e. Random Form/URL variable?). Keep
this applet/script running on all pages (IFrame perhaps). When CTRL+N is
hit, I believe the "OnLoad" even should fire - in which case you can triger
the javascript to create a new session id.

You could make the applet even fancier and poll the server to get the login
status... Thus the server could even kick particular windows/sessions out
:-)
