Hi all,

Speaking of "session", I'm intrigued by:

12.6.  Caching of Capability Lists

    In most situations, the capabilities list in a given server state
    will not change from session to session; for example, a given
    extension will be installed permanently on a server.  Some clients
    may therefore wish to remember which extensions a server supports to
    avoid the delay of an additional command and response, particularly
    if they open multiple connections in the same session.


There is a notion of "multiple connections in the same session".  Yet, 
it seems that it is the only place in RFC 3977 where multiple 
connections are mentioned.  I would have thought a connection and a 
session were synonyms but I'm maybe wrong.
Does a session have the meaning of a period of time during which a 
client has at least 1 connection opened?  (The term is not really 
defined, and if it has that meaning, a few uses of it are ambiguous 
compared to a connection.)
