It occurs to me that this notion is based on a different concept of 
session from the one that I put forward, ie your concept is a 
multi-part, relatively-persistent, the 
session-continues-until-I-say-it-is-over session. Mine is a "single 
sitting". This of course complicates things.

How about a "clearcookie" (probably with a different name) action that 
would accomplish this? I base this on an assertion that most people 
would conceive of a session as a single sitting (think about bank 
sites), and therefore would think of "logout" (implicitly or explicitly) 
as applying to a single sitting .

Are we having a semantic issue here?
