The request scope works the same as the user scope from the point of view of who owns the variables. Two users can have the same request variables assigned, and maintain their individuality.
The difference between the request scope and the user scope is only persistence; only the user scope gets reloaded form the cache at the start of execution. Both operate just as fast.

One question: I set a few status flags, depending on a variety of student info bits, and realized that I've been creating these flags as request variables. SHould they be user variables, or does witango hold the request variable with the currently executing taf within the current session. Many students may be signing up for something simultaneously, and I don't want flags to get mixed up.
