What about keeping state in the tracker?. That is, provide the hashes to 
request in a connection and later request only the state for that 
"session". If the tracker has no idea about the session (reboot, purge), 
simply recreate a new session.

Tracker capabilities could be advertised in the HTTP tracker response, 
using a HTTP header or a new bencoded field.
