Think about how the user will open the new browser window.
If he opens it by clicking on a session encoded link and selecting
"new window" (most browsers have a way of doing this) then the session
from the first browser window will also be used for the second one.
But if the user simply opens a new window then there will be no way
to communicate to the server that there is an extant session on the
client. Therefore a new session will be created.
This is rather inconsistent behaviour and yet another reason why
cookies are preferred for session maintenance.
