No. 

Your solution is more complex that it needs to be. The Witango server should never, 
under any 
condition, be concerned that cookies are disabled.

Your code, on the other hand, may want to be concerned with cookies - but that's 
another matter.

I can't speak for them, but I can tell you they have been involved more than once in 
this 
discussion (which we've had more than once).

The conclusion, as best as I can summarize (and the way I see it), is:

The <@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT> metatag has been depreciated to a level of functionality 
that 
provides some user convenience but nothing more - and that newer versions of the 
Witango Server 
architecture gives this metatag a lower level of precedence during session evaluation.

Basically, stop using <@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>.
