Sure, but...

Not everybody who develops web apps knows about "do not keep anything
interesting in sessions" mantra, or agrees with it. At least a couple of
times I had to explain it to people who were not clueless by any standard.

It's actually a rather arcane bit of knowledge, and if you don't have it,
you may discover it the hard way, when it's too late.

Which makes session storage in cookies a good option, but perhaps not a good
default (?)
