2. throw in cfscript Just to be anal - this is trivial with a UDF in CFMX. Yes, it would be nicer for it to be 'native', but it would be a pretty simple UDF. I'll add it to cflib.org if it isn't there already. I'll also update my include() udf to support includes JSP. This will make it like BDs

I should probably stay out of this--- oh, what the hell. I think that a lot of excellent points have been made in this thread. Here are my thoughts: 1) One entity should own and control the CFML language! 2) Any number of entities can/should offer competitive implementations of the language!
