Another point, solely based on the original example/question, is that it's
also a bad idea to ever pass actual session ID material around to the IdP
and back anyway, especially in a redirect, since that gets logged all over.
That opens up the session back at the SP to lots of attack vectors, given
the stupidity of how most server-side sessions are implemented by
application servers. Lack of address checking, for example.
