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! 1 is currently MM -- it would be counterproductive for others to offer dialects of the language that are specific to an implementation 2 is currently MM & BD -- if BD (or others) are successful, then ownership/control of the CFML language should pass to a 3rd-party standards group -- then implementers could compete on a level playing field. I would personally prefer that BD force MM to relinquish control of the language by providing better implementations/lower costs; rather than alternative CFLM commands and functions. Dick BTW, Vince, I'd like typing of variables and Nulls in CFML :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
