Well, yes, that may be possible. In practice it is not a problem (typing too 
fast just means chars are ignored), but your suggestion of adding an id to each 
request, a la TCP/IP, is a good one, but a little over-engineered for this job.

If $customer wants to pay for it, they can. They've paid so much already, and 
they're perfectly happy, so only when they feel the benefit outweighs the cost 
will this be specced and coded and paid for.

Nevertheless, an excellent question. Always feel free to ask for clarification 
on dubious code. I might get embarrassed and you might learn something!
