This means that the server has to know which sessions are bound to
which connections, which is what I was trying to avoid, since it is
potentially troublesome to implement.  What if you reference a single
session on multiple connections?  Which connection does the session
keep open?  All of them?  The most recently used one?  It is not
obvious what the client will expect.

If the answer is "all of them", this seems like an easy opportunity for
clients to cause the server to keep lots of connections open, since it
only needs to send traffic with the session ID on one connection to
keep all of them open.
