Eventually people are going to want to return more than a plain string or HTML to their page. To do that they will probalby want to use JSON (assuming XML is too much of PITA, which it is). So then they have to write code to get their CF data into JSON and back again. In other words, they'll

I don't agree that XML is too much of a PITA May be not, but it is not a panacea either. Sometimes, other solutions are many times simpler. Example : instead of using cfwddx to transmit data to Javascript, which may generate a 500 k file, create the Javascript code to define the structure,
