Most likely the latter.  twisted.web.server.Session was designed years 
and years ago, before anyone involved in Twisted really had any idea how 
the web worked.  It turns out that it works okay for a lot of cases, but 
it could definitely be a lot better.

It sounds like you've got lots of very specific ideas for making it 
better.  I very much doubt that you're misunderstanding it; please 
search around the tracker at <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/> and find 
existing tickets that describe some of these issues (there are bound to 
be a few) and feel free to file some new ones.  Patches (with tests, of 
course) would be very much appreciated.
