Ok I get it now.

Don't have a deep - hard to replicate - structure.
Have a flat structure, but with a scoped name space!

I think this approach solves a lot of issues and probably 
reduces the need for extra API.

For example, perhaps we could communicate maxIdleTimes via
naming conventions rather than API:

   session.putState("session:maxIdleTimeMs",new Integer(60000));

I still don't know if this approach can help with event notification, 
but I defer that until I have a quasi-working session manager against
the API.
