Sadly, Tomcat 7 may not be an option for many of us for a long time. I had to
fight really hard for the switch to Tomcat 6. Please reconsider applying this
small patch to Tomcat 6 because session fixation is a real threat. 

Though it's reassuring to have Tomcat abide by the rules by default, it
wouldn't hurt to give users more options, even spec breaking options,
especially when it comes to security. I'd rather have Tomcat warn me that the
webapp is deployed into a non-compliant context than putting my client's data
at risk.
