That is: do what spline-frontpage already does in Python land, and give me a javascript function that will use a cookie for guests or the user stash for logged-in users.

The tricky bit is making it work whether or not spline-users is loaded; probably needs a stub in core that just sets a cookie.

The other potentially tricky bit is making sure the Right Thing happens when someone logs in—i.e., has both a cookie and something user-side. Either have some mechanism for one way to “win” (e.g., frontpage takes the later of two dates), or just decide that one always wins. Or prefer the cookie, save it automatically, and then delete it. Or.. whatever.
