Someone asked this at the WAMMO meeting when Ben was showing this -
the answer was that they want to keep the Flash player download as
small as possible, and don't want to expand it for XForms support.
I think you're thinking of "DENG"

Gotcha. So I guess it's really not technically Xforms support, but the
ability to use CFFORM to generate an Xforms form instance and then
transform it. Pretty interesting.
How 'bout embedding Xforms support in the Flash player?! (I know Denji
or Dengi exists.....but native support would be nice!).

Yes, but the spec was designed to incorporate the binding of the form
data to the instance document....thereby eliminating the need for the
JS hack! ;-)
