Jake, I'm not sure I understand. Why can't you contain all of your data you want submitted inside your <cfform>? You can use the <cfform> and still use HTML form elements inside without having to convert them to <cfinput>,<cfselect>, etc.
Unless you want to write a bunch of javascript to create inner form fields to pass with the post data on submit, you can't pass those variables to Coldfusion in the #FORM# struct unless they are enclosed within the form being submitted. Plus if you have nested form elements, your HTML won't validate and thus your DOM may be messed up for use in the page javascript. Using AJAX inside a CFForm isn't an issue that I've noticed as long as none of your variable names conflict variable names in "cfform.js".
