I implied that the server would perform the necessary rewriting.
For example, if the client requests
http://foo/bar=baz/somepage.php
it would be automatically rewritten to
http://foo/somepage.php?bar=baz

If a cookie with the name of the current session name was not
set in the current context, SID will be automatically defined
(note that this detection currently requires track_vars to be
enabled).
At the beginning of a session, the cookie will be send and the
SID will be defined. This ensures correct propagation without
doing a redirect first.

<?=sid?> is enough :-)
Seriously, we might add support for this. It's a nice feature.
