It also has a major disadvantage, if you don't want the users to be 
able to monkey with their session settings.

Note that www.ekit.com's tree tag (go to, e.g. http://www.ekit.com/ekit/Info/)
stores the tree tag state in the session. It was a simple enough mod to
the tree tag (btw, in case no-one's repeated it recently, the tree tag
is Pure Evil From Planet Ten, and must be destroyed :)
