I'm not much of an User Interface designer.  I do note that we already
have the comma-separated authentication suboptions, but I agree that it
doesn't make much sense to add the session-id after all those.  The
:-based approach is better.

But then we have the DSS Session ID, making this somewhat inconsistent
again: 

 Device Service Stream options
   --dss-connect=[(UUID),(Session ID)]                                         Connect DSS session
   --dss-disconnect=[(UUID),(Session ID)]                                      Disconnect DSS session


And there are still suboptions missing from the connect command.  We
do want the ability to change both IP type and Context type, because
these will often be the reason you want multiple APNs in the first
place.
