In fact, it's just that simple, though I do it at the beginning. My
templating system will insert the session ID into
link to foo
so that the link will do the right thing; our logged-out top page, our
login page and our registration page have this for all links, because
these are where people come into the site without a session ID.
However, the current issue is knowing where you do and don't need to do
this.
Now, of course, I've just realised I'm a dork. <slap!> I need two things
to subsitute; one for absolute addresses when I really need them, and
another that just looks to see if a session ID was submitted and leaves
{SIDLINK} blank if it was, and and fills it in if not. Then I just have
somehow to make sure the web designers don't forget to put this in....

The phones don't send one. I get a bit of model and setting information,
but two phones of the same model are most likely to be indistinguishable
to me, with the requests even coming from the same IP address.
(I might well be using this for docomo phones if we were an official
site, but even so it's another 12-15 bytes added to each link.)
