Another great reason for CFMX6.1, vars still need to be at the top but they can now be
inside a CFSCRIPT block.
-----------------
<cffunction name="getFoo">
<cfargument name="who" default="me">
<cfscript>
var name = "";
name = "mike";
</cfscript>
<cfreturn name>
</cffunction>
<cfoutput>#getFoo()#</cfoutput>

<cffunction> offers a lot of benefits, but many still like a lot the scripting syntax.
I gave up on <script> for UDFs for the reasons you listed above, but I go back to
<cfscript> pretty often

What drives me crazy is that the compiler doesn't let me declare all the 'var' scope
local variables in a single <cfscript> tag after the opening <cffunction>...
