You are right. However, it could be an acceptable policy to "improve" overall security.

I agree again. But once again, maybe a strict policy could make a user open a new session when
their IP address change (this policy would not be mandatory of course)...
This would probably be a pain but could on the other hand give a feeling of increased security to
your visitor and discourage a regular attacker imho
