Exactly.
We don't want someone adding <cfFooBar> to their engine, whilst another uses
<cfBarFoo> (or doesn't have it at all). Ideally I can take a project and run
it with no changes on Adobe, or Railo, or Smith, or BD, or ...
We're already seeing this fragmentation (a bit), with things like
<cfhttp addtoken="yes" ....
appearing in Railo but not Adobe's 'official' impl., so anything that makes
use of that is now locked into Railo.
If Adobe don't want to open up their ColdFusion server (fair enough), the
least they could do would be to set up some sort of language standard, and a
public process to get it altered.
*That being said* Adobe do already listen to us with language changes, such as
the new {} syntax and cfinterface.
