Three questions for Bernhard:

1. Who pays for the storage for all of these endpoint capabilities that
   the server must retain?

2. If the client dies, how does the server learn that the session is
   terminated and the server's endpoint capability for that client can
   be dropped?

3. Consider a server that has multiple clients, each with a session.
   One of these clients invokes the server. How does the server know
   which client it is supposed to respond to?
