We use CFC's to _return_ UI elements. In other words, we don't use output="true" but we do use CFC's to return data that generates output. For example, we have a "contentserver" CFC. This CFC returns images and files that are outside of the webroot. We also have a template CFC for one specific template that gets used over and over from both the secure and non-secure sides of our server.
