I see.  Well I've pretty much said my opinion on the cookie thing, but
to reiterate, people not using cookies are such a minute percentage of
the web.  Unfortunately, I can't find any recent numbers anywhere, but
I'm thinking it's probably less than 3%.  I've always gotten the
impression that the whole URLSessionFormat thing was useful 15 years ago
when cookies weren't that wide-spread, but is a rarely used function
nowadays.

I think you will eventually have to come to a decision where you choose
between catering to <3% or your traffic or choosing the most secure
method.  I'll let you make that decision, but I'll leave you with this
article about how Google Apps is ceasing support for IE 6 because the
security risk is too great and they would rather tick off 10% of the
Internet who refuse to come out of the dark ages than continue dealing
with the security holes.
