Thanks for the info! Hmm... every attempt to write to sessionStorage should be going thru utils.setState() so we should be able to add a try/catch check there and fall back to cookies on error (and reset the hasSessionStorage flag so we don't bother trying again).

Given this is a bugfix, I'm going to add this to the 0.2.1 milestone. Lemme know if there are any objections.

Yup, sounds good. Let me know if I can be any help!
