I think there's a list on the Allaire site somewhere, but I don't feel like
looking.  Here's a list from my brain: (hope the formatting comes through
OK):

Scope name    Needs     Persistent?
                      Locked?                    Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Server               Yes        Yes            Server specific data
Application        Yes        Yes            Application specific data
Session            Yes        Sort of <g>  User specific data (spans browser
windows)
Client               ???         Yes             Like session scope, but
these don't expire.
                                                        Stored in registry
or database.
Request            No          No              Applies to a single page
request. Like local
                                                        Variables scope, but
is accessible within
                                                        custom tags.
Form/URL         No           No              Form and URL parameters
Variables          No           No              default scope. For local
variables.
Attributes         No            No              normally used to access
data supplied to
                                                        a custom tag, but
can be used anywhere

Of course, there are other collections of data (CGI, CFCATCH, CFHTTP, etc),
but I don't know if they can really be considered "scopes" or not.
