[syslinux] Opinion wanted: metadata in HTTP requests (updated)

Okay, I have narrowed it down to two options:
1. Using HTTP cookies, in every request. To avoid collision with other
cookie uses, the cookie names would be prefixed with _Syslinux_ or
some similar prefix although this adds overhead.
2. Using a GET query string, if and only if the http URL is of a
special form, probably:
http://example.com/something??
... i.e. ending in a double ?? which should not normally happen in a
URL.
I would like to know if people have specific preferences between these
alternatives.
