That makes no sense whatsoever. Backends can maintain state or not either way; adding a token you have to pass back makes just adds an extra layer of mapping token -> real state in the simple case of token-is-only-valid-per-connection and an unreasonable amount of complexity if you try to make it valid across more than one. I'm -1 in the apache veto sense on the token idea. -Jonathan
