Having spent some time reading the Plum documentation and comparing it
with the onTap documentation, I think I'll stand by my original
statement. But it's probably a close call.

But the packaged documentation is CHM. Online documentation is fine
until you happen to be working offline. Local documentation in HTML
(or PDF perhaps) would remove that criticism.

BTW, the Plum online documentation doesn't really give much of an idea
how the framework is structured or how simple programs can be written
with the framework. It needs an overview and a tutorial. I expected
the Application Framework Overview section to tell me that but all it
does is labor the point about how Application.cfm / OnRequestEnd.cfm
work and the fact that Plum uses two include files in Application.cfm.
The documentation succeeds in giving the impression of a complex
framework with a somewhat ad hoc nature, a mix of components, custom
tags, includes with no guiding principles or concepts.
