Not really. I can see a few things worth remembering, but in general - if it works for you, do it. +) Of course it goes without saying that this kind of flexibility is pretty much unique to CF. You can't (and I know you know this) expect to consume none-CF web services in the same way. +) It doesn't really address the issue of passing structured data BACK to the server from the client. Of course you may not need to do this, but being able to would be nice. For example if you wanted to pass a JavaScript array up to the server you'd still have to come up with some sort of translation method. This could be as simple as creating a WDDX packet and putting it in a specifically named field... but it still has to be considered and documented. But it is a nice capability...
