Actually, I implemented this when I was at LJ.  Well, sort of.  I
implemented a system where S2 could set cookies (they were very
restricted in what they could contain, etc).  This data was then used
by the S2 system to page back to where you left off.

It worked as long as you used the same browser.  If you went to a
different system, it wouldn't know where you were.

This also gave S2 styles the ability to have 'preferences' for users
and other interesting things.

The code never got committed because I never finished it - security is
a big concern with cookies - but the feasibility is there.  (Even
though, if this is implemented, it very well might not be with
cookies.  It may be just a user preference/value thing where we store
the last stuff you saw and then take you back to that point in
time...)
