No - I'm just uncomfortable allowing the server to specify the session
id, even if the client only uses it for that server. The renegotiation
is trivial (just send the ID you generated), and a client doesn't need
to implement it. Do you think the renegotiation shouldn't be there at
all?

Now I'm confused. I think you're objecting to having a renegotation,
but what your'e proposing - `one server only' - would require that for
server-generated id's anyway.
