Unique SESSION-ID submitted in <NetworkLink> by Google products

Which products are relevant to this feature request?

Google Earth and Google Maps (Google Maps for mobile in the future).

What should this feature enhancement do?

Send an unique SESSION-ID to the server specified in <NetworkLink>.
It can be taken from session used by GE to connect to Google server(?).
Is a small enhancement, but can provide valuable information for server-
side scripts.

Now, server specified in <NetworkLink> cannot distinguish between refresh 
calls from different GE instances and custom server applications must 
implement their's own techniques.
These techniques may not work with different Google product versions. 
Currently, we use such method which works fine with GE 4.3 and Google 
Maps, but is no longer working with GE 5.0 and 5.1.

Are there any currently known workarounds that produce the same, or
similar, result?

Yes, see "NetworkLinkControl does not work in GE 5.0, GE 5.1, but works in 
GE 4.3 and Google Maps" topic in Discussions->KML Server Side Scripting
