When I had my application in CF 5.0 and MX <> needed to be escaped when you were not using CFSCRIPT. That's why I suggested going that route (its also a little cleaner to read since this can get pretty messy really quickly)
Try it in these versions--- you'll get an Just in Time Complilation Error.
In any case, we'll both agree that one needs to escape " and # unless one evaluates a variable value to be used within the new file. We'll also agree that its a pretty intresting way of setting perfernces or allowing administrators to really extend an application.
