HTTP is stateless. The only way the server can distinguish different clients is by the use of cookies -- which are a stateful hack on top of stateless HTTP. For browsers to implement what you suggest would require a different cookie store for different windows or tabs. I suppose there's no *theoretical* obstacle to doing that, but I don't think any browser implementer ever actually has.
