CFOUTPUT doesn't format anything.

This is because > Now() is known as a date object, thus may be formated as a > date, but Now()+1 is just a number, and formated as such by > CFOUTPUT. CF casts datatypes when necessary in an expression. I don't see how this is any different from any other casting in CF.
