For ideas on how to do the URL-embedded session ID stuff, take a look at
the URL related APIs of the BrowserIdManager:

  - isBrowserIdFromUrl
  - encodeUrl
  - getAutoUrlEncoding
  - setAutoUrlEncoding

The last two are probably what you want:  if set, they cause all
generated URLs to include the prefix '/{browser_id_name}/{browser_id},
which then gets picked out of the URL and stashed during traversal:
this should give you the behavior you need, assuming that all URLs are
being generated using 'absolute_url' and friends.
