I also think it's "cleaner" to just let the user log back in and then
process their POST data.

You may need to not use the built-in session time-out, so that you have
the data in context.

Or, you may need to re-structure your application to archive timed-out
session data somewhere, and resurrect it when needed.  You can clean out
really old archival data periodically.
