Yes, Personally I'd love to see them bundle icu4j if nothing else. More robust locale features in native CF would be nice, although given my current understanding of history and general intentions (keeping CF simple - which is also debatable) I'm not sure if I'd expect it. But at least if they bundled icu4j that wuold lend some ubiquity to better java-based locale tools. I've contemplated creating an mx_icu4j library as a pluggable extension to the framework to support icu4j by replacing all the existing core-java based tools under the hood, but haven't found or made the time to do it yet. Time always seems to be my biggest challenge. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:202474 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
