I find the concepts of session and presentation layers within the OSI model to be quite nebulous today, especially when you try to map TCP/IP concepts onto them - because it's not a like-for-like comparison.

I think I prefer the '5th layer' concept - an extension of the TCP/IP stack between 'Transport' and 'Application'.
