the last method was session hashing for the page to create a unique entry
token and then hiding it ...

<input type="hidden" name="priv_key" value="32-bit/md5">

if the sessions + keys didnt match you would know they came from somewhere
else.  i think the real key is just to have something unique in your POST as
to distinguish it from something else.  this method is actually pretty
similar to using the graphic except the server does the work.  one time keys
work for pretty much anything.

im guessing cookie dropping can work as well since the would have to come
from @ least one entry page on your website before spotting the
registration.  would be interested in what the php security cookbook has to
say about this :-)
