It did work for me.. There's even such an option in X-CDRoast. And it
does work for the Debian CDs. These have both Joliet and RR
extensions. They are made with mkhybrid which is a variation of
mkisofs, but for all I could understand the real difference is only in
the fact that mkhybrid also supports HFS for Mac-compatible CDs.

I always wondered why are RR extensions needed for multisession by
mkisofs? It's clear that multisession doesn't need any RR by itself;
it woks in Windows without RR. So why does mkisofs need it? And what
did your patch do exactly -- made mkisofs create multisession CDs with
Joliet instead of RR? (Can you send it to me, too?)
