You can do as many things as you like. I suspect you could write your entire application within Application.cfm. However, I don't think that would be a good idea. > Absolutely not, you said "He was able to do it very quickly, > because all he had to do was write a separate set of display > code."

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find any commonality between HTML display code and RSS or WML. So, yes, those are separate sets of code. The commonality they share is the business logic, which is stored separately from the display code. > What I mean is that nothing is PERFECT, so there is NO BEST > practice, only good judgment to find the best way to do it > depending on the situation.

A methodology good > for large application may be a hassle for smaller applications. Just as mighty oaks from little acorns grow, large applications often start as small applications. The good judgment of experienced web programmers commonly finds the separation of presentation and business logic to be valuable.
