Blink? Huh? :-)

You're right but unfortunately sometimes customers want all the latest stuff
possible with IE, and all the latest stuff possible with Mozilla/NS/... at
the same time.

So we end up matching UA instead of using a browscap, sigh.

There's a org\apache\cocoon\acting\Action.java in the source tree, together
with a README and a sample piece of code that logs whether a Session object
is created on the Tomcat level.

I'm not sure whether all personalization only occurs on the content level,
and even less sure how you would do this, then. Personalization typically
occurs in code (shudder), so your webpub environment needs a webapp backing
in order to facilitate in-page-personalization.

But anyway, we should be thinking about this Portal API, not? :-)
