The problem is that html was born a stateless protocol and that all the 
crafty salespeople out there have been looking for, and finding, ways to 
make it stateful. So it is a problem and it is not going away, no matter 
what you do, because by now nobody *wants* it to go away. Not the 
vendors who rely on advertising, not the spyware remover vendors, and 
not the ISP providers who gladly sell bandwidth and rent servers to move 
all that scum.
