But isn't the problem then that if the user cuts & pastes the URL for
someone else to use (e.g. mails it to someone), they're also then passing
on their authentication? 

Doesn't this also mean you can only have links from sessioned pages ->
non-sessioned pages or sessioned pages -> sessioned pages and not
non-sessioned pages -> sessioned pages. I'd classify a non-sessioned page
as a static HTML page.

Have I missed something here?
