Michael,
What did you come up with? I'm using a session table with fields for all of the properties I need and storing the session ID as a hidden variable. Linked with a timeout procedure and an occasional sweep through the table to blank records that have timed out it's working fine.

The client didn't want cookies or anything similar left on the users' computers, so it had to be a table.

Of course, these values need to be isolated from other calls by other users.
