    This only works if the ratio of client to IP address is 1:1.  That's
    probably fine for PC clients, but not a server system.  For a system
    with multiple clients (say, using X to get the browser display back
    to their desktops), this wouldn't do it - there'd be no way to tell
    the clients apart.

    Also, this makes no provision for limiting the persistence of the
    identifier.  What if it specifically *should* be limited to the
    lifetime of the browser session?
