I'm a little confused as to why Philip's initial suggestion of turning off
the URL session ID has not been commented on.  People have been very helpful
in giving alternative suggestions, but I don't think anyone has commented on
whether or not his initial suggestion would be feasible.  Obviously, cookies
would then be required, but the last set of statistics I read said that over
99.6% of web surfers have cookies enabled these days.  Wouldn't losing that
.4% be worth having the search engines properly index your site?  Is there
just currently no means to get rid of that session ID in the URL?  Is that
what mv_tmp_session will do?  I'm a little confused as to what
mv_tmp_session is exactly.  Mike says it never issues an ID or writes
anything to disk, does that mean all session information is stored in a
cookie?  Also, will mv_tmp_session still allow a mv_pc that includes a
letter to be set at the beginning of the session (included with the link to
the store), so that [data session source] can be kept track of?
