Issue Summary
Hi, I've proposed anintegration of the useful session_api_get_sid() function to Flag module provided by Session API. Flag module provides a customizable function like Session Favourites, but it is heavily based on Views and uid. Session API could be a nice addition to Flag, since it allows anonymous users to flag contents.
Any suggestion provided by the Session Favorites experience is welcomed.

#1
Does session api offer a way to merge the anonymous user's session with a newly created account so that the anonymous user's flags will be merged into the newly created account?
#2
The session API module currently doesn't provide this functionality, although that is one of the long-term goals. The problem with flags integration is that it is very user-centric (all tables have a uid), which makes session integration difficult.
I know there has been some effort to address this via the visitor project (http://drupal.org/project/visitor), and if that pans out, this module will probably ultimately be merged with that one.

Anonymous users for the flag module is being discussed in #271582: Allow anonymous users to flag content.
