Hi Derek,
Take a look at org-babel-execute:js in ob-js.el, it performs a check of
the :session header argument, and then either performs external
evaluation as currently implemented in org-babel-execute:maxima, or it
performs session evaluation as you have described.
Implementation may be as simple as passing the "body" of the code block
to the `maxima-send-region' command and returning the results.
Also, you may want to look at the contribution instructions on Worg [1],
because if you are not able to sign the FSF copyright assignment papers
we will not be able to include your contribution.
Best of luck and let me know if I can help in any way -- Eric
