Problem passing empty value to cfargument if type isn't string

[Evan Lavidor]

I've got a function inside of a CFC.  One of the arguments is defined as follows:
<cfargument name="promoItem" type="numeric" required="no">

If the value that I pass to it is empty ("") then I get an error that "The argument PROMOITEM passed to function processInfo() is not of type numeric."

If I change the type to string, then it works great.  But I don't want it to be a string.  The same behavior happens with a date (passing blank string to an argument of type="date").

Any ideas?  This is really strange behavior to me.  As CF is typeless, shouldn't it be converting the empty string to a null number - or something like that?

Thanks,

Evan
