What are the reasons for doing so? The original reason was a bad reason: that the session code had bad interactions with your natbib code and loaded child documents twice, therefore triggering bogus alerts. This has been or should be fixed differently, so it is less relevant now. However I thought at the time it was a good idea.

Another idea I had for this case was to store in the buffer object the file's last access time and check against that every time we do an action that changes the buffer (like emacs does). This would solve your particular problem and solve problems with files edited in two places concurrently. I am not sure yet it is a good idea, so I did not propose it.
