but cookies arent always enabled (in my area of deployment 90% dont have
them enabled) .. and the fact is no matter where the data goes client
side, the data can still be pulled.

I can knock a delphi app which runs in the background pulling the session
id from the pages, no matter where it gets put (ram, hdd, url) just by
intercepting the communication in the [ever so secure] windows layer.

Security in this matter should be taken with a pinch of salt. Some methods
are more flexable (available to more people), some methods take more work
to get the data... but neither is really more secure as the data is still
stored in (effectivly) plain text and is easily locatable.
