In Gordon's example it changes with each request, this could be a user
using tor network to do their shopping (which ain't wise, but that's
another story and another news group).

I have seen corporate networks where you have multiple exit points, but
one internal proxy, depending on how the proxy is setup, for example for
load balancing the traffic, then you don't keep the same IP over a
session, the same applies for tor-network too. Also users switching from
one wifi connection to another may change IP too.

As long as you only relay on the session cookie, it don't matter how
many times the user changes IP as many times as they wish. The issue is
only if you look at session cookie plus IP, when those users will not be
able to finish their shopping.
