I propose this hierarchy for the xml
root
-windows
--sessions [ one of them will be a special session consisting of
pinned tabs that span accross sessions ]
---tabs
----history items

This way, a window consists of several tab groups, each group visible
only one at a time. Some tabs are always displayed in a window, no
matter which session. These are the app tabs.

This hierarchy is used by both firefox 4 and opera to handle sessions.
