So the originator is the measuring stick? So if Macromedia implements a cfzip they will be measured by how closely it conforms to New Atlantas cfzip tag? Likewise to CFimage? What about sourceless deployment should I tell you how Macromedia is Flawed in that since Blue Dragon had originally done this, not claiming MMs sourceless deployment is flawed. Further more Macromedia was not the originator of lists in programing...looking at other progeraming languages and using them as a measuring stick against CF then Macromedia has a flaw in thier code interpretation.
I strongly suggest looking at the 36 page enhancements PDF on new atlanta's website prior to saying "The only apparent contribution that NewAtlanta has done was to copy the end user (meaning developer) functionality and attempt to subvert market-share from the authors and their intended 'heir'." They have made many, contributions one big one is .NET architecture.
