I HAVE to call the FSSession object twice.
Since I view only index_html, it uses the call of standard_html_header.
standard_html_footer is called by index_html included into index_html
I can't really explain it but standard_html_footer appear to be
"independent" of standard_html_header (where the FSSession call occurs).
Only the REQUEST object spans between both standard_html_header and
standard_html_footer.

What I would like to be able to do (see it as a bug report/feature request)
is to call it and standard_html_header and still have it
standard_html_footer with index_html as the link.
