For various reasons this isn't practical -- it would be very difficult
to determine which K-Line (or ban) was applied to a certain user based
purely on, for example, CGI environment variables. At the very least,
it should be possible to return an ID or cookie so that you can say
something to the effect of "Please visit
http://www.example.com/klines/cookie to see why you are not permitted
to use this server."

There just needs to be a way to return some form of ban- or
k-line-specific information, especially since some servers have
hundreds of k-lines (it wouldn't surprise me if some have more).
