Hey Michael, I wouldn't use a prefix - instead, I recognize a variable as being local to a function by its lack of a scope, explicity stating the scope of variables in the arguments or variables scopes. Also, addressing arguments as "arguments.name" should be a touch of a performance boost as CF doesn't have to look into the 'local' scope to find your variable, realize it isn't there, then look at arguments.
