I don't think it should try too hard to avoid generating a session for bookmarkable links cause the googlebot could always find those same links after it has created a session elsewhere, muddying things just as much. Instead, search conscious sites (and what big site isn't?) should just disable url rewriting in a WebRequest subclass. Users without cookies, and Google, will still be able to browse the non-interactive parts of the site through bookmarkable urls. You'd have to hack essential (search) forms, but that's no harder than doing the same form in a caveman framework. Then you'd customize the session expired page to explain that cookies are required for interactivity. That's how pretty much every shopping site, etc works already. Wicket (via J2EE) is just being too nice to cookieless users, and making its nice-to-have sessions conspicuous in the process.
