This is actually closely related to a number of the use cases that I 
have in mind, where I want to be able to tie multiple sessions together, 
both for the kinds of scenarios that Juliusz lays out, as well as 
sessions originating from entirely different endpoints. From that 
perspective, having a way to associate different sessions with each 
other somehow seems far more flexible (this is in large part why the 
"conferencing" analogy comes to mind when thinking about extensions). I 
was going to leave this off as something we can define in a future 
extension; but if we're trending towards including it as base 
functionality, I don't have any objections to adding it in.
