Actually no I hadn't, but as you say session timeout may be a problem.

Or is it?

If the information is stored in the browser until the user says "OK, I'm
done!" (clicks submit, or whatever mechanism), and there is no need to
retain info from a previous page, session variables wouldn't be needed.

Then again, there's still the problem of a user clicking "back" either
on purpose, or by mistakenly clicking "back" instead of a tab.

(don't mind me, I frequently have these arguments with myself)
