Not that I think the idea behind the newly introduced tags are bad (in fact, quite the opposite) but I'm kind of surprised that you're introducing new tags at all. I realize that your intent with Bluedragon is probably not to be "cross-platform" compatible (backwards compatible?) with Macromedia's product, but this "splitting," if you will, of the CFML language kind of worries me. Kind of like the early M$ vs. Netscape days when each company would introduce their own variants of HTML.
