An earlier question still stands, and it is central: does UID == console session ID?
To me, this is very much like asking "Does UID == $DISPLAY"? And the answer of course is - not in general.
I am asking so that the answer is a documented-- and thought about-- instead of being a nebulous assumption. For one, it will be difficult to have true session-unique emulation support because those interfaces used /dev permissions with no concept of session, only uid and gid.
