I have a suspicion that the only thing that cannot be done easily
without cookies is tracking – that is, pretending that a user has an
account, but ensuring that she has not made that choice consciously.

Everything else, so it seems to me, can be done RESTful. Am I wrong?

Can you elaborate? Why would an account management system need sessions?
