That would would violate the forthcoming ISO/IEC 13490 for CD-WO as it does not specify that each session is a distinct volume. In particular, it specifies the "governing" volume descriptors, none of the others matter at that point as using them as separate volumes would likely lead to inconsistent pointers to directory structures and files. Such a specification would likely be carried forward in any revision of ISO 9660.
