1. I probably misunderstand your point, because I'm about to say something
obvious. Requests that belong to the same session are not guaranteed to be
sequential in any meaningful way.

2. The check you are talking about would have to check the session against
SOMETHING. Something more specific than a single secret. I.e., a piece of
server-side data that maps to the session. Which kills the rationale behind
session-based cookies, no?

So, it looks like cookie-based sessions would only work for the same
scenarios where "Remember my login on this computer" option without an opt
out is acceptable.
