I advocated this approach at least as far back as the second F2F meeting,
mostly because nobody could supply text for SessionIndex that captured the
options we wanted to communicate. What you suggested is probably as good as
anything I've seen so far.

My recollection is that people didn't want to use AssertionID because it
required some additional tracking of some sort, but I don't recall exactly
what. The f2f notes might have a record of the discussion.
