Yes, I'm aware of these limitations, but (a) you include referrer information
which in not complete, (b) our server uses an session ID cookie (and many servers
are now implementing this or session ID queries) that I've included in the
logfiles as %u, and (c) could some of this be done even with a notice about not
jumping to conclusions about the data.

On the otherhand, maybe you're right. Internal referrer reports should just
remain referrer reports. I've set our logs up to do only external reports be
aliasing all possible internal referrers to a text string. Without this the
internal results mask the external ones so that you have to include a lot of
entries to get to the extrenal. It would be nice to have an option to split the
two.
